When he returned to the Navy Club, it was already completely dark, but Fang Lang did not rest immediately. He needed to hurry up and organize today's gains.
First, he arranged for the Global Group to search for Edwards Deming's whereabouts in the United States, and find ways to cut off his chances of contact with Japan, and invite him to Brazil to work for him.
Secondly, I compiled what I thought of today when inspecting Mercedes-Benz, and reported it to Porsche and Aston Martin. After all, they are all our own industries, and we certainly cannot favor one over the other.
Finally, Caterpillar was tasked with developing an all-wheel drive heavy-duty dump truck.
The next morning, the waves continued to hit the beach, making a rustling sound. The sea breeze gently blew across the sea, rustling the palm trees on the coast.
The flaming sun turned the sea into a sea of fire. Today was a rare good day, and a group of people in shorts and shorts were running hard on the beach.
Unlike most people who jog when exercising, Fang Lang is used to running fast. Running on the soft sand is much more strenuous than running on a flat road, but it is obvious that Fang Lang is used to doing morning exercises in this kind of venue.
As his guards, they were naturally forced to adapt to Fang Lang's rhythm, but there were very few people who could follow Fang Lang and run the entire course.
After all, Fang Lang's training distance is as long as ten kilometers. Not everyone has the same abnormal physical fitness as Fang Lang. This can be regarded as a sequelae of Fang Lang's time travel.
...
...
A black Ford sedan drove quickly along the coastal road into the Navy Club. When it saw people exercising on the beach, it braked suddenly and stopped on the road.
Colonel Adams Teach pushed open the car door and jumped out with a smile on his face. He was wearing a military uniform and black leather shoes. He looked at the beach in the distance, hesitated for a moment, took off his shoes and socks and threw them in the car, rolled up his trouser legs, jumped off the road barefoot, and walked straight towards Fang Lang and others who were running on the beach.
When the guards on duty on the beach saw that it was Colonel Adams Teach, they did not step forward to stop him. Instead, they smiled and nodded at him, then looked in other directions.
Adams Teach came to the beach near the sea, stopped far away, and watched the crowd running with some curiosity.
Fang Lang saw this and had no intention of stopping. He just waved at Adams Teach, signaling him to wait. Then he continued to run without hesitation.
Adams Teach nodded and waved, then stood there quietly waiting. Seeing Fang Lang and the others running at a speed that was almost like a sprint, he couldn't help but be amazed and sighed in his heart that it was great to be young.
Although, he couldn't do such high-intensity exercise when he was young.
After running ten kilometers with great difficulty, the guards who were exercising with him behind him were already scattered in a mess. Fang Lang didn't care and walked towards Adams Teach who was standing on the beach, panting.
A guard was standing on the beach with a towel and a water bottle. Fang Lang walked over, picked up the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Good morning, General!"
Colonel Adams Teach stepped forward with a smile on his face.
Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. He paused while wiping his sweat with a towel and said dissatisfiedly:
"We are all brothers. Don't call me General. Just call me by my name."
Seeing this, Adams Teach smiled slightly and continued:
"Although we are brothers and you are younger than me, you are my boss, so of course I have to maintain the necessary respect."
Fang Lang understood what Adams Teach meant. This was to tell him that he was his own man and that he must be respected. In fact, Fang Lang didn't care about these things. The so-called respect was false. Loyalty was not expressed in words, and respect was not reflected in words.
He pushed Adams Teach to the position not necessarily to gain another subordinate, but to gain another ally. As long as everyone's interests are consistent, their relationship will inevitably be unbreakable.
As for Adams Teach's decision to put himself in the position of a subordinate, Fang Lang felt a little amused.
He shook his head helplessly and stopped dwelling on this question. He wiped his sweat casually and continued walking along the beach, asking casually:
"What's the matter with you coming here so early?"
Adams Teach followed Fang Lang, slightly behind him by half a body length, and spoke softly:
"I had dinner with Colonel Antal Heydrich last night and tried to find out his attitude."
He casually put the towel he had just used to wipe the sweat on his shoulders, looked at Colonel Adams Teach with interest and said:
"Oh! What did he say?"
Adams Teach smiled and said:
"He didn't say yes or no, he just told me he wanted to think about it again. But I could sense that he was somewhat tempted."
Fang Lang looked at Adams Teach with some surprise when he heard this and said:
"Didn't you say that he is a pure soldier? Why is he so easily moved by what you said?"
Hearing this question, Adams Teach's expression became a little bitter, and the smile on his face slowly faded. He sighed softly and said:
"Alas! Something happened in his family. I only found out about it when I went there this time."
Looking at Adams Teach's expression, Fang Lang frowned slightly, put away his casual expression and said:
"What's going on?"
"His youngest son fell seriously ill some time ago, and his family's savings were almost drained out in order to treat his son.
But in the end, his child's condition did not improve much and he is still in the hospital. The doctor suggested sending his child to the United States for treatment, but he was worried that his child would not be able to survive the long journey, and his financial situation could not support the high cost of traveling to the United States.
He needs money now, but his current job doesn't allow him to earn enough money to treat his child. My proposal should give him a glimmer of hope."
After listening to Adams Teach's explanation, Fang Lang did not feel relieved, but frowned even more tightly.
He knew very well that if the other party were to serve as the commander of the Rio de Janeiro Naval Base under such circumstances, he would definitely find a way to make money quickly, which obviously did not meet his requirements.
After all, if you recommend a corrupt official, you might get implicated, which is inconsistent with your values.
"He has been a naval officer for so long, and his savings are not enough to pay for his child's medical treatment?"
Hearing this, Adams Teach smiled bitterly and said:
"This guy is a freak. He almost never accepts benefits from his subordinates, and is unwilling to give benefits to his superiors, so..."
Fang Lang has been in the Brazilian army for many years and is very familiar with the morals of the Brazilian army and governments at all levels. In order to change this situation, he even paid out of his own pocket to provide additional allowances to the officers and soldiers of his Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier formation.
He also formulated clear military regulations, which made this phenomenon disappear under his command.
But other troops do not have such a good thing, so this kind of corruption is the norm and very serious.
He looked at Adams Teach with a frown and asked in confusion:
"Then how did he become a navy captain?"
In fact, Fang Lang had already had doubts about this issue when Adams Teach recommended him to him last time, but he did not ask about it at that time and was ready to wait for the results of the investigation by the Second Section of the Logistics Department.
Now that Adams Teach brought it up, he wanted to see if the other party knew about it.
Adams Teach, who heard this question, showed a slightly strange expression on his face and said:
"Actually, this is all thanks to his wife."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang was also stunned, and the image of Colonel Antar Heydrich wearing a dark green hat immediately emerged in his mind. His expression also became a little strange.
Unexpectedly, Adams Teach seemed to know what Fang Lang was thinking, and quickly waved his hand and said:
"General, please don't misunderstand me. His wife has not done anything to let him down. On the contrary, I think his wife is a very rare good woman.
As far as I know, his wife is a descendant of Portuguese nobility and was wealthy when she married him. He knew Colonel Antal Heydrich very well and understood that he could not accept bribes to his superiors to get promoted.
Therefore, he used his status as a descendant of the nobility to frequently hold salon parties, and the guests invited to such parties were often the wives of Antar Heydrich's colleagues or superiors. Even my wife was often invited.
In this way, his wife had a good relationship with the wives of his superiors. So, although he did not bribe his superiors, his superiors did not particularly dislike or target him, which allowed him to display his talents in a relatively fair environment.
And steadily improved. That's why he is in the position he is today."
Fang Lang had never expected that there would be such a strange woman. She was obviously following the path of a lady! This made him unconsciously curious about this lady.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that he wants to do anything with the other person, but he simply appreciates the other person’s abilities. If such a person can enter the business world, he will probably be a good hand!
Unfortunately, in this day and age, women have not yet been fully liberated, and it is almost impossible to find successful women.
"Oh! This is a rare and wonderful woman.
But since his wife is a descendant of the nobility and can often host these salon parties, how could she not even have money to treat her sick child?"
Adams Teach could only continue to smile bitterly upon hearing this:
"The cost of organizing a salon party is not low. Over the years, her wife's family assets have long been emptied. Otherwise, Colonel Antar Heydrich would not have been transferred so arbitrarily before the war."
At this time, Fang Lang knew the situation at Colonel Antar Heydrich's home. It seemed that allowing him to become a colonel was already the limit for his wife!
I was a bit hasty. It seems his wife is not suitable for business. She has not been able to increase his wealth. Instead, he can only live off his savings!
Now this family can only live on Colonel Antar Heydrich's salary! If a child suddenly gets sick and their savings are emptied, unless there are special circumstances, this family will fall into poverty.
But now he obviously has the ability to change all this. Thinking of this, he turned to Adams Teach and said:
"Did you know that his child is in that hospital?"
Adams Teach nodded uncomfortably.
Seeing this, Fang Lang patted the other person on the shoulder and said:
"It just so happens that I don't have any plans today, so let's go to the hospital to visit this poor little guy!"
Hearing this, Adams Teach was a little unresponsive at first, but he soon understood Fang Lang's intention. He looked at Fang Lang with surprise and said:
"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that!"
