After Fang Lang realized that he had made a misjudgment, he immediately understood that his plan to corporatize the Japanese military and police might be much easier than he had imagined.
"It seems that I have over-complicated things. Since things are much simpler than I thought, that's great.
Since Mr. Boyd is so sure, I will leave this matter to you. I only look at the results. I hope you won't let me down!"
This attitude made Dorji Boyd realize that he had passed the interview. With the boss's approval, he would be officially appointed as the president of the Japanese branch of God's Whip Military Contracting Company.
"Yes! Please rest assured, boss! I will never let you down!"
After stuffing the last bit of bread on the plate in front of him into his mouth, Fang Lang thought for a moment and then slowly spoke:
“Earlier, through John’s introduction, I met two Japanese war criminals who were supposed to be serving their sentences in prison. One of them was Japanese Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Mamoru, who signed the surrender document on behalf of Japan.
Because of my previous misjudgment of the situation in Japan, I discussed a lot with him. Originally, I was planning to support him in establishing a Japanese political party under our control, so that we could further manipulate Japanese politics.
But now that you are confident that you can directly take over Japan's military and police business, this guy seems to be of no use.
...
...
"When they deliver all the Chinese cultural relics that I asked them to buy for me tomorrow, please ask Mr. Boyd to clean them up!"
According to Fang Lang's plan, he supported Shigemitsu Mamoru in order to deal with the opposition voices that might arise in Japanese political circles after he controlled the Japanese military and police. He needed a force under his control in the Japanese government to fight against these oppositions.
But the actual situation now seems to be that the existence of these people is somewhat dispensable. In this case, Fang Lang is of course prepared to eliminate these guys who deserve to go to hell without hesitation.
As for purchasing Chinese cultural relics, he could easily accomplish it by simply finding a few more locals. There was no need to let these damned war criminals continue to go unpunished for the sake of a few cultural relics.
Fang Lang's words made Dorji Boyd's eyes light up. Although he was a soldier, he was more like a politician than a soldier, so he was very interested in politics! When he heard Fang Lang say that he was going to support a spokesperson for his interests in Japan, he immediately became interested.
"Boss! You mean, you originally planned to influence Japanese politics by supporting him, right?"
When Fang Lang saw the look in Dorji Boyd's eyes, he knew that he was interested in this plan, so he did not hesitate and told him his original plan.
After listening to Fang Lang's introduction, Dorji Boyd gave Fang Lang a thumbs up and praised him from the bottom of his heart:
"Boss! You are really a genius! If this plan succeeds, we will be able to completely control Japan. But I can hear that you don't seem to want to use these two guys, right?"
Fang Lang shrugged and said:
"Of course, I have no good feelings towards these damned Japanese war criminals. If possible, I would like to send them to hell right now."
Hearing this, Dorji Boyd glanced at Joseph Clark, only to see that Joseph also looked helpless. He shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had nothing to say.
Seeing this, Dorji Boyd could only turn his head to look at Fang Lang, and after a moment of hesitation, he said:
"Boss, I think the plan you mentioned is very controllable. If it is really as you said, major changes will happen on the peninsula, even if we can completely control the Japanese military and police.
However, as Japan's economy recovers rapidly, the Japanese people may indeed be eager to rearm Japan, as you said, and our contract with the Japanese government may be challenged at that time.
If we can control Japanese politics at this time, we can ensure that the interests of the company will not be harmed by public opinion.
So, I think your plan is very feasible. If you don't mind, I would like to continue to take over your plan. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang frowned. To be honest, in his heart, he was not very sure how many years his company could control the Japanese military and police.
Because, if their company controls Japan's military power, Fang Lang will definitely try every means to suppress the development of Japan's military power, but he is not sure how long he can suppress it!
After all, as the Cold War became increasingly intense, the US government would inevitably need to support a military force under its command in the Far East, and Japan was undoubtedly a country that met the requirements very well.
If Japan cannot provide this support, the US government may ask God's Whip Company to increase its investment in Japan's military construction, although this will bring greater profits to God's Whip Company.
But Fang Lang did not want to get too involved in the Cold War, so deep down he wanted to suppress his investment in Japan.
Now from what Dolge Boyd said, Fang Lang could tell that this guy was very ambitious, maybe he wanted to be the next MacArthur. He instinctively wanted to reject the other party's request, but after thinking about it carefully, he chose to give up. After all, he was the boss of God's Whip Company, and there was no reason for him not to want his company to have a greater influence in Japan.
As for whether Dougie Boyd will become the next MacArthur, what does it matter? You are the boss. If you are not satisfied, you can replace him at any time. Why bother about things that have not happened yet?
"No problem, you will be responsible for receiving the Chinese cultural relics they send over tomorrow, and then you can meet them.
However, I want to make one thing clear to you. I don't have any good impression of these damn war criminals. I wish they would die sooner. So, I don't want them to become too powerful.
I don't mind if you want to use them, but if they get out of control, I will hold you responsible, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Doyle Boyd was not worried, but said with a smile on his face:
"Please rest assured, boss. I am also a soldier. Many of my comrades died in this war. So, my attitude towards the Japanese is the same as yours. I am just taking advantage of them.
When they have lost their value, I will not hesitate to make them atone for the sins they have committed."
Fang Lang looked at Dorji Boyd seriously, and after confirming that he did not seem to be lying, he nodded and said again:
"Then I'll hand him over to you. As for getting him a pardon, can you handle it yourself?"
Dorji Boyd smiled and nodded:
"Boss, don't worry! It's difficult for me to get him a pardon right now, but didn't you say that we should see his performance first? Only when his performance satisfies you, will we apply for a pardon for him.
As for whether the other party can satisfy you, isn't it just a matter of your words? When our company completely controls the Japanese military and police next year, it will be very simple for me to help him get an amnesty order. "
Obviously, Dolji Boyd meant to keep the other party hanging until he was able to get the amnesty order, and then give it to the other party. Although this was a bit shameless, Fang Lang liked it very much. He couldn't help but glance at Joseph Clark, raised his finger and pointed at Dolji Boyd and said with a smile:
"Haha... Very good! Very good! Mr. Clark, I'm beginning to like Mr. Boyd's attitude towards the Japanese!"
Hearing this, Joseph Clark also laughed.
Dorji Boyd knew very well that this was the boss's true attitude towards the Japanese, and he was just following the boss's ideas. At the same time, he began to warn himself to keep in mind the boss's true thoughts and not to treat the Japanese as his own people.
He also laughed along with the other two.
After laughing, Fang Lang couldn't help but remind him:
"Since you have decided to use him, you will continue to be responsible for collecting Chinese cultural relics from Japan for me. I will arrange for people to come and pick up the goods regularly. As for the funds they get from selling cultural relics, it is best to monitor them through the Global Morgan Bank. This is all our money, and we cannot let them use it elsewhere. Do you understand?"
Dorji Boyd was stunned when he heard this, but he soon understood what Fang Lang meant, and he couldn't help but look at Fang Lang with a hint of fear. His boss is really a ruthless person who eats people without leaving any bones! However, combined with the other party's attitude towards the Japanese, he also understood what the boss meant.
A smile of enlightenment appeared on his face and he said:
"Hey, hey... Boss! I understand what you mean! I promise you that every penny they earn from us must be spent on us!"
Seeing that Boyd understood what he meant, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction and laughed. At this time, he really felt that the CEO of the Japanese branch recommended by Joseph Clark was very much to his liking.
"Another point is that once the amnesty is given, a large number of Japanese war criminals will find ways to escape from Sugamo Prison. People like Shigemitsu Mamoru and Kodama Yoshio will definitely take the opportunity to do something.
I hope that every war criminal released from Sugamo Prison will be under our control. When necessary, we should be able to decide their life or death at any time. Do you understand what I mean?"
Doyle Boyd and Joseph Clark looked at each other. They obviously did not expect Fang Lang to have such a tough attitude towards these Japanese war criminals. It was obvious that he did not want these guys to live the rest of their lives in peace!
But Fang Lang was the boss and they were employees, plus they didn't have any deep feelings for the Japanese, so using the lives of a group of Japanese war criminals to win the boss' favor was not an easy choice, so both of them nodded without hesitation.
"Please rest assured, boss! We understand!"
Dougie Boyd was obviously more unscrupulous in his actions. He seemed to feel that this alone was not enough to show his loyalty, so he continued:
"Boss, since you like Chinese antiques, I will help you collect these things in Japan. You don't have to worry about these war criminals. We will only keep those who are useful and obedient to me.
If someone has lost their usefulness or is not very obedient, I will directly remove them for you."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the president of the Japanese branch was becoming more and more to his liking.
Fang Lang chatted with the two for a while until an officer from the Brazilian Navy came to Fang Lang to report on the fleet's preparations, and then the two stood up and said goodbye.
The next morning, Shigemitsu Mamoru and Kodama Yoshio arrived at the Yokosuka Naval Base with more than 30 trucks. To Shigemitsu's surprise, the person responsible for receiving him was changed from Fang Lang to a white old man with gray hair and glasses.
The other party seemed very polite, not as difficult to talk to as Fang Lang, and talking to him made him feel the respect he deserved. After the other party finished introducing himself, they realized that Mr. Dorji Boyd was the president of the Japanese branch of the Whip of God Military Contracting Company.
Because General Fang Lang had to prepare for the fleet's departure and had no time to hand over these Chinese cultural relics to them, he was arranged to meet with them, and from then on, he would be General Fang Lang's plenipotentiary representative in Japan.
But when they learned that this seemingly gentle old American man was actually a former lieutenant general of the U.S. Army, they were really shocked and had a better understanding of Fang Lang's strength.
Even a former US Army lieutenant general wants to work for him. Just imagine how powerful his background must be.
Although Shigemitsu Mamoru felt that it was a pity that he could not meet Fang Lang in person, he did not boast to him on the spot and find out from him whether he was satisfied with the Chinese cultural relics this time.
However, Yoshio Kodama felt that it was far more meaningful to get to know the CEO of the Japanese branch of God's Whip than to communicate with a Brazilian major general who was not stationed in Japan. Therefore, he actively communicated with Mr. Boyd in front of him.
Dorji Boyd took his men to count all the Chinese antiques, and arranged for people to begin testing all the cultural relics. He took Shigemitsu Mamoru and Kodama Yoshio to the headquarters of the Japanese branch of the Whip of God Military Contracting Company for exchanges.
He mainly stated his position as General Fang Lang's representative in Japan, and put forward the requirement to continue to purchase Chinese cultural relics for his boss, as well as the boss's request to support Shigemitsu Mamoru's political career.
This made Shigemitsu Aoki seem to see hope in an instant. Compared to Fang Lang's bad attitude, Mr. Boyd was obviously more easy to talk to.
Next, the two had a cordial and friendly talk about the future prospects of cooperation between the two sides. Dorji Boyd told the two that he had no experience of serving in Japan, so he was not familiar with the local environment, and hoped that the two could help him understand the local situation as soon as possible.
At the same time, he also made it clear to the two that he had served in the U.S. military for many years and had close relations with many officers of the U.S. military currently stationed in Japan, and if there was anything he needed help with, he would definitely lend a helping hand.
In the future, the Whip of God may need a lot of help from local forces to carry out its work in Japan, especially the underworld organizations controlled by Yoshio Kodama, which may provide him with certain help. I hope Mr. Kodama can help him introduce more Japanese friends so that he can carry out his work smoothly in Japan in the future.
