Fang Lang could hear General Leta's urgency from his words. It seemed that what he said about the unusual atmosphere in the Ministry of Defense recently was true. No wonder he could believe Fang Lang's words so easily.
Looking at General Leta with an anxious look on his face, Fang Lang's assessment of him could be considered to have achieved the desired result.
He was not really trying to take advantage of the other party by constantly persuading him to eat. It was just that he was really consuming a lot of energy in practicing martial arts, so the amount of food he ate today was just a normal amount.
Seeing that the guest couldn't eat any more, he couldn't force him, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said with a wry smile:
"General Leta, haven't I already told you my purpose? It's to find out what you think for me!"
General Leta was obviously dissatisfied with this statement and shook his head:
"General Fang, if we're just trying to find out what you want, do we need you to come in person?
I know I tried to test you just now, but this was just a way for me to protect myself. Please don't mind.
Just now you said that only brothers can help you! I wonder how I can become your brother? "
...
...
Seeing that General Leta did not believe his words and instead regarded him as a life-saving straw, he could only smile bitterly.
The other party has already begun to actively ask how to become his brother. This eager attitude makes Fang Lang feel a little worried.
The question is whether he is aiming for the position of Chief of General Logistics or just a high position in the Ministry of National Defense. If he only wants to keep his current position, he is obviously not suitable to be a candidate for Chief of the General Staff.
There is no need for you to continue having a deep conversation with the other party. Just let the other party find other ways to protect themselves.
But now that the other party is showing an anxious attitude, I must first find out General Leta’s true thoughts.
Otherwise, when he sat down with General Crook, he would find out that he just wanted to keep his current position. Then what was the point of talking? Wouldn't he be embarrassed in front of General Crook?
After a moment of hesitation, he slowly said:
"What's important now is not how to become my brother, but what does the general want? Do you want to stay where you are, or change your position?
Only when your choice is in the same direction as ours, can we become brothers."
Fang Lang's words made General Leta's eyes narrow. There was no clear direction in this sentence, but it also told him that he had two choices, stay where he was or change position.
However, he was not sure whether he could become their brother by staying where he was or by changing his position.
He looked at Fang Lang, wanting to see something on his face, but Fang Lang was also waiting for his choice at the moment, and certainly would not let his expression betray his thoughts.
Seeing that he could not get an answer from Fang Lang's expression, General Leta could not help but probe again:
"I remember General Fang said that I would be transferred to another place. I wonder where exactly that place is?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang had already made some guesses about the other party's attitude. It seemed that the other party did not want to cling to the position of Minister of General Logistics, but wanted to see which department he would be transferred to. Of course, if it was a low-paying job and he had to wait for retirement, then he would definitely not be willing to do that.
Since this is the case, then of course they have a chance to become brothers, so he smiled and said:
"General Leta, things haven't been finalized yet, how can I know where you will be transferred? You don't have to worry about my questions, just tell me what you really think."
Hearing this, General Leta had nothing more to say. He looked at Fang Lang deeply and said with a smile:
"Hehe... General Fang, if I were to tell you what I really think, it's of course the same as everyone else's. At the very least, I want to keep my current position. If I have the opportunity to move up, that would be even better."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Lang put his worries aside and couldn't help laughing:
"Haha... OK, it seems we are destined to meet each other! As it happens, I have a dinner party tomorrow night. I wonder if General Leta is interested in joining us!"
At this time, General Leta's tense nerves finally relaxed. He had been very nervous. He knew that this was his only chance. If he failed to seize it, he would definitely be marginalized in the Ministry of Defense in the future.
The feeling of being isolated during this period of time was really uncomfortable for him.
"Haha... Of course I'm interested. General Fang's delicious food is irresistible. I can't miss it if I have the chance."
The two of them laughed tacitly. They didn't say it explicitly, but they both knew in their hearts that they could meet the big boss behind the scenes.
General Leta's anxiety was instantly relieved. As for who was behind Fang Lang, both of them knew it very well.
After all, Fang Lang did not deny his previous series of analyses. Now it seems that the Ministry of National Defense may be entering the naval era.
But for him, there is actually no difference. Although he is also from the army, he is not a hardcore army faction, but a small logistics faction under the army faction.
He had no psychological barriers to leaving the Army Faction and joining the Navy Faction after having a meal with Fang Lang. It was for his own future. What was there to be ashamed of?
Fang Lang achieved his goal. Some people might think that he did not owe much favor to General Leta.
But in fact, as a middleman, no matter what the final result of the communication between General Crook and General Leta is, General Leta must remember Fang Lang's favor.
As for letting General Leta know that it was Fang Lang who recommended him to General Crook, there was no need to tell him. With his understanding of General Crook, he didn't even need to ask for it. If the matter could be settled, General Crook would naturally take the initiative to tell General Leta.
By then, General Crook will be more satisfied when he knows that Fang Lang did not take the initiative to mention this matter to General Leta.
The facts were just as Fang Lang expected. The next night, the three of them quickly reached an agreement after a cordial and friendly meeting in Fang Lang's restaurant.
When General Leta learned that it was Fang Lang who recommended him to General Crook for the position of Chief of the General Staff, his eyes began to become extremely friendly when he looked at Fang Lang.
In this way, a win-win-win situation was formed. As for how General Crook would operate later and put General Leta's name on the Chief of General Staff's shortlist, it was not something Fang Lang needed to worry about.
He now had more important things to do, which was to start preparing to take over the power of the Navy Department.
After General Crook and General Letta had reached an agreement, Fang Lang asked Cirio Recchi of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency to deliver all the files of senior officials of the Navy Department to his home the next day.
Especially those guys who pushed Fang Lang to be transferred away from the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group, their information was so detailed that it even included how many times they went to the toilet every day.
This cannot be blamed on Cirio Recchi. After all, although the Brazilian Intelligence Agency is still in decline on the surface, its actual strength is no longer what it used to be.
Since these guys wanted to harm their boss, they naturally came into the sight of the intelligence personnel. The reason why Fang Lang allowed them to continue to be alive and well was because he showed them special mercy.
Otherwise, according to the ideas of these intelligence personnel, if they dare to have any unfavorable thoughts about the boss, we will just arrange an accident for them and send them to meet their ancestors.
"Have you investigated who is going to enter our fleet to take advantage of us?"
Fang Lang casually flipped through the personnel files in his hand while asking Syrio Recchi, who was sitting across from his desk.
Hearing Fang Lang's question, Syrio Recci quickly stood up and reported loudly:
"Yes, Boss, the names of all the people who are preparing to work in our fleet, whether actively or passively, have been thoroughly investigated.
But who will be officially selected in the end still needs to wait for the results of the meeting of the Navy Department."
Hearing this, Fang Lang looked up at Syrio Reci who had stood up with some surprise.
"Oh! There are passive ones? What do you mean? They don't want to do it themselves?"
"Yes, Boss. Two of them were unwilling to join our fleet. Their elders forced them into this list."
Now Fang Lang was really interested. This situation was really beyond his expectations.
"Oh! This is very interesting. Who are they? Pick them out for me to see."
Seeing Fang Lang's interest, Cirio Regis stepped forward and after searching through the archives, he pulled out two files and handed them to Fang Lang, saying:
"These two people, Imogen Fallon, Lieutenant Commander, had been working in the Navy's logistics department. But his uncle wanted him to serve as a destroyer captain in the fleet, but he thought it was too dangerous to serve as a captain, so he has been fighting against it."
Fang Lang, who originally thought he had met a promising talent, suddenly became displeased when he heard this.
When Cilio Regis saw Fang Lang's expression, he knew that he was disgusted. He couldn't help but let out a bitter smile and continued:
"The other one is Hemans Cannon, a lieutenant colonel in the navy. He used to be the director of the Navy's missionary department. Now his father-in-law has pushed him in and asked him to serve as the aviation commander on an aircraft carrier."
Hearing that both of them were such people, Fang Lang was completely disgusted, but with a hint of curiosity, he couldn't help but speak:
"Then why is he unwilling to be transferred in?"
Hearing this, Sirio Regis couldn't help but glance at Fang Lang's face. After seeing that he was not likely to get angry, he slowly spoke:
"The reason he gave was that he was unfamiliar with air force tactics and was not qualified for this new position."
After hearing this, Fang Lang's expression finally became better.
But before his expression could relax, Sirio Reci's next words came out.
“But according to our investigation, Lieutenant Colonel Hemans Gannon has a close relationship with two female subordinates in the mission department, and working in the mission department makes it convenient for him to date the two.
But if he arrives in our fleet, he won’t have the chance to date beautiful women.”
Fang Lang was really angry now. He couldn't help but punch the table and said angrily:
"What a mess these people are. Aren't there a few who are really useful among them?"
Cilio Recchi obviously understood Fang Lang's feelings very well. After hearing his words, he couldn't help but say:
"It's not entirely impossible. Among them, there is a person who transferred from the Army Department. I think he is quite interesting. Boss, you can focus on him."
Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but look up at Syrio Regis and said:
"What do you mean, what does the Army have to do with this?"
In response to Fang Lang's question, Syrio Regis did not rush to answer. Instead, he bent down and rummaged through the files on the table. He found a file and handed it to Fang Lang with both hands, saying:
"His name is Cornell Kroger, an Army captain who served in the European War with the Third Army Division. After the war, he was promoted to company commander for his meritorious service. He has no connections or connections in either the Navy or the Army.
According to our investigation, he spent a lot of money to get connections and applied to transfer from the Army to our Navy. His target unit was the Marine Corps.
We found out that he was very interested in the tactics used by our fleet in the battle to eliminate the Eddie brothers, so he tried his best to join our Marine Corps. "
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown, and looked at Sirio Regis seriously and said:
"Have you investigated this person's background? If he has no connections in the army or navy, how can he transfer from the army to the navy with his own money?
I also transferred from the Army to the Navy. If I hadn't been injured in the European War and saved John, I would not have had the opportunity to transfer from the Army to the Navy.
This matter is not something that can be solved with money. Have you investigated everything? Don't let the intelligence agents infiltrate us."
Cilio Reci was not surprised by Fang Lang's questioning. He had long known Fang Lang's emphasis on intelligence work and his precautions against infiltration. He certainly would not casually send someone who had not been thoroughly investigated to Fang Lang.
"Please rest assured, boss. We have thoroughly investigated this guy's ancestors. He is an indigenous inhabitant of the Amazon rainforest. His family of five, including his parents and brothers, all live in Manaus.
According to the local government and neighbors, the family was born and raised in the area. There was no possibility of them being replaced by someone else, nor was there any chance of them coming into contact with foreign forces.
He himself had the opportunity to come into contact with foreign countries on the European battlefield, but according to what we learned from his comrades, he couldn't even understand English and was a relatively quiet person in the army.
He has achieved what he has today by fighting and risking his life. Therefore, we can still vouch for the results of his background check.
I personally guess that it might be because of the performance of our Marines in the jungle that attracted the attention of this jungle native, and he wanted to come to us to learn more.
As for the relationship between the navy and the army, we have also investigated it clearly. He contacted a colonel in the naval staff through their division commander, and it was this colonel who put him on the adjustment list this time.
According to the information we have, all the gains this guy made in the army over the past few years have been taken away."
Now Fang Lang really became interested. Such a person who was willing to spend all his family's wealth to transfer to the navy to learn jungle warfare tactics was one in a million.
The other party is either really obsessed with jungle tactics or has ulterior motives.
Since the Intelligence Bureau has already investigated thoroughly and denied any ulterior motives.
Fang Lang certainly didn't mind such talents coming to his doorstep. In fact, he wished that all the people who were stuffed into his fleet were such guys.
