Although Fang Lang was a man of swift action, it was not an easy task to reorganize the current intelligence agency in a short period of time. Not to mention the special nature of the work of the intelligence agency, the enemy would take advantage of it if they were not careful.
Just regrouping the huge manpower into different institutions is a huge project, and the reorganization must not affect the current work.
At the same time, we must give full play to everyone's strengths and assign people with different abilities to different positions. This is not something that can be resolved in a few days.
Therefore, after Fang Lang communicated with Syrio Recchi about the reorganization of the intelligence system, Syrio Recchi got busy with the reorganization work, planning to complete the work in about a month after the new president took office.
He had originally planned to go to Rio de Janeiro for the Spring Festival holiday, but since General Crook came to visit him, he has become busy.
After seeing off Sirio Reci, Fang Lang invited Adams Teach, the guy he had inserted into the Navy Department as Deputy Chief of Staff, to his home for some communication.
The plan to send the other party to the position of Chief of Staff of the Navy Department surprised Adams Teach very much. He had to say that it was indeed a wise choice to choose to directly join Fang Lang's army.
In just a few years, he was freed from the naval base where he had wasted several years and became the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy, responsible for the follow-up of new warships.
Now, not only does he make an indelible contribution to the first modern destroyer produced in Brazil, but he is also present in the missile destroyer that is currently being designed.
...
...
The design work of the first domestically-made cruiser has also begun. These are events that can be written into naval history. How could he not be ecstatic and grateful?
Today he told himself directly that he should be ready to take over the position of Chief of the Navy General Staff.
What is this? This is definitely a golden thigh! If you don't hold on tightly, what are you waiting for? Looking at the old friends who are still standing still, and then looking at himself now, he couldn't help but sigh that choice is indeed more important than hard work.
Needless to say, the relationship between Fang Lang and Adams Teach was natural. After a few words, they agreed on future arrangements. Then, he asked General Leta to help him make an appointment with Major General Guilherme Karassa, who was in charge of logistics at the Navy Department, to have dinner at the Naval Club.
The reason for asking General Leta to help with the appointment is actually to tell Major General Guilherme Karassa that everyone is one family.
Although General Leta has not made any moves recently, his faction has been quietly exerting its strength. Faction leaders such as Major General Guilherme Karassa have also known that General Leta is likely to take over the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense.
This was great news for their entire faction. At this time, General Leta came forward to invite Major General Guilherme Karassa, who was still in the dark, on Fang Lang's behalf. Naturally, he had to give him a lot of face.
So, that night Fang Lang met Major General Guilherme Karassa, who was in charge of logistics at the Navy Department, in the private room of the Navy Club.
To be honest, Major General Guilherme Karassa and Adams Teach are very familiar with each other. After all, they basically work in the same office building, and they have a lot of contact at work. It can even be said that there is some overlap in some areas.
Fang Lang did not let Adams Teach invite the other party because there were actually some contradictions and conflicts of interest between the two.
After all, Guilherme Calaza was in charge of the navy's logistics, and the Brazilian Navy did not have a general armaments department, so the procurement and selection of military equipment were of course the territory of Major General Guilherme Calaza.
However, after Adams Teach, the Deputy Chief of the Navy's General Staff, took office, he was directly responsible for the localization planning and construction of military equipment, which actually took away the work of Major General Guilherme Karassa, and there was a natural gap between the two.
In this situation, if Fang Lang asked Adams Teach, the Deputy Chief of the Navy Staff, to invite the other party, the other party might not come out at all.
But Fang Lang still invited Adams Teach to this party. The purpose of this was very clear, which was to tell General Guilherme Karassa, who didn't know that he was going to become the Minister of the Navy, that he was the one who could make the decisions among the senior leaders of the Navy in the future.
"Haha... General Karasa, it's nice to meet you!"
In the private room of the Navy Club, Fang Lang saw General Guilherme Karassa walking into the room led by a waiter, and he stood up to greet him with a smile on his face.
It's not that he is arrogant and doesn't go out to the door to greet the future Secretary of the Navy, but he doesn't want too many outsiders to know about today's conversation.
General Guilherme Karassa did not dare to be overbearing towards Fang Lang, the real powerful figure in the Navy Department, and did not care too much about the fact that the other party did not come to the door to greet him.
"Haha... General Fang, you're too polite. It's an honor to be invited by you. This is the first time we've had dinner alone!"
From General Guilherme Karassa's words, it can be seen that he is quite respectful towards Fang Lang. After all, although the General Fang in front of him is a naval general, their Fangyuan Shipyard is an important cooperative unit of the navy. In the future, most of Brazil's warships may be commissioned to be built by the other unit.
Now that the other party has taken the initiative to ask him out for a meeting, he thought that the other party was trying to win him over and build relationships for future orders from Fangyuan Shipyard!
Especially when he saw the Deputy Chief of Naval Staff Adams Teach following behind Fang Lang, he became more certain of this idea.
After hearing Guilherme Karasa's words, Fang Lang couldn't help but apologize:
"Haha... It's my fault. I didn't invite you out for dinner until today. I will drink three cups of wine as punishment later."
Fang Lang's easygoing attitude surprised Guilherme Karasa. He didn't have much contact with Fang Lang, but considering his age and current achievements, he thought he would be a very young and energetic guy. However, this was obviously not the case, which made him feel a lot more relaxed about today's party.
Adams Teach, who had been following Fang Lang, also stood up and greeted Guilherme Karasa in time.
"Good evening General Karassa!"
As a mature general, although Guilherme Karasa and Adams Teach had some problems, he certainly would not give him face. He enthusiastically stepped forward, shook hands with Adams Teach and hugged him, saying:
"Haha... So General Teach is here too. If I had known you were coming, we should have come together. This way we could have had someone to chat with in the car."
Hearing this, Adams Teach smiled slightly and gave the other party an equally enthusiastic response to his courtesy.
"Haha... It's my fault. I didn't know General Fang Lang invited both of us to the banquet, so I came here alone early."
While exchanging pleasantries, the few of them took their seats at the dining table at Fang Lang's gesture.
The restaurant staff quickly placed a table full of delicious food on the table. Since everyone was not familiar with each other, they certainly couldn't start talking about business right away.
After a few polite conversations, Guilherme Karasa saw that Fang Lang had no intention of speaking immediately, so he took the initiative to speak:
"I wonder why General Fang took the initiative to invite me here this time? Is it because of the sales of the new warships of Fangyuan Shipyard?"
Fang Lang was stunned by this, and he looked at Adams Teach beside him before he realized that the other party had misunderstood something. However, there was nothing wrong with what the other party said. After all, he positioned the other party as a salesperson responsible for promoting warships to foreign countries.
After thinking about this, Fang Lang couldn't help but laughed:
"Haha... Your guess is both right and wrong. The sale of the new warship is just a small issue. The main reason I invited you this time is to give you a bright future."
After these words were spoken, Guilherme Karasa could not help but be stunned, and looked at Fang Lang and Adams Teach with some confusion.
"What do you mean, General Fang?"
Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Fang Lang understood that this person must know nothing about his future. This was a good thing, as it would be easier for him to negotiate terms with the other party.
After a moment of hesitation, Fang Lang smiled slightly and slowly said:
"From what I understand, General Guilherme Karassa and General Leta are very good friends, right?"
It was not accurate to say they were friends. They were not just friends, but partners from the same faction. But some things could not be said too clearly. Since Fang Lang had invited him through General Leta, he must have known about their relationship.
Judging from General Leta's attitude towards Fang Lang, the relationship between the two sides should be very good. Therefore, he would definitely not deny this.
He nodded very frankly and said:
"Yes! You are right."
Seeing Guilherme Karassa's attitude, Fang Lang felt relieved. The frank attitude of both sides is the prerequisite for all negotiations.
"Then I wonder if General Karasa knows what General Leta has been busy with recently?"
Hearing this, General Guilherme Karassa could not help but narrow his eyes, thinking that Fang Lang was only going to find out from him about General Leta's next move, but he quickly denied this guess, because this gathering was an invitation sent by General Leta to Fang Lang.
Soon, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he spoke calmly:
"It seems that General Fang already knows something, right?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang knew that the person on the other side was also one of the people who knew about General Leta's movements. He couldn't help but smile slightly. This was a good thing as it could save him a lot of trouble.
"Hehe... Of course, General Leta and I are very good friends, and now I have the opportunity to help him! Of course I will spare no effort."
After these words came out, Guilherme Karassa's face remained calm, but a huge wave of emotions had already begun to stir in his heart. What did it mean? General Laletta helped him. Does this mean that General Laletta's promotion to power is likely due to the contribution of this person in front of him?
No wonder General Leta would come forward to invite me on behalf of the other party at such an important and critical moment. It seems that the relationship between the two parties is closer than I thought!
Soon, he thought of Fang Lang's words just now, that he would give him a great future, what would this future be? Thinking about it, he couldn't help but his heartbeat accelerated.
"I never thought that General Fang was behind this matter. General Leta is so lucky to have a friend like you!"
"Haha... General Karasa, you're joking. Since we're friends, isn't it natural for us to help each other?
You and General Leta are friends, so we have a chance to become good friends too!"
Fang Lang spoke very casually, but Guilherme Karasa could easily grasp the hidden meaning in his words, which made his heart beat faster again.
At the same time, he looked at Adams Teach, who was standing beside Fang Lang with a half-smile on his face. He was a little confused again. Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed alone? Why did he bring Adams Teach along? Could this have something to do with this person?
His gaze naturally did not escape the eyes of Fang Lang and Adams Teach. Seeing this, Adams Teach, who had been silent, could not help but grin at Guilherme Karasa and said:
"Haha... General Karasa, don't look at me like that. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Fang Lang, thinking that instead of talking about the two of them talking in code to each other, it would be better for an outsider like him to directly break the window paper, so as to prevent Guilherme Karasa from being on guard and having concerns.
Of course, he could only say this after getting Fang Lang's consent.
Fang Lang could naturally understand Adams Teach's gaze. After looking at Adams Teach and then at Guilherme Karasa, he felt something in his heart and nodded to Adams Teach calmly.
After receiving Fang Lang's affirmation, Adams Teach no longer had any scruples and spoke directly:
"General Karasa, let me tell you the truth! General Fang is my boss. I asked you to come here today because I want to give you a chance to become the next Minister of the Navy."
Adams Teach's tone was very impolite, and his attitude was very casual, but the words he said made Guilherme Karasa's brain buzz, and he stood there in a daze.
Of course he wanted to be the Secretary of the Navy, but his own people knew their own business. Given his influence and qualifications in the Navy Department, his chances of becoming the Secretary of the Navy were slim.
But now, the General Fang in front of him wanted to push him to this position. How could he not be shocked?
At the same time, Adams Teach's words that Fang Lang was his boss also shocked Guilherme Karasa. He knew very well what it meant for a Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy to say that another colleague of the same rank was his boss.
Thinking about what Fang Lang just said about General Laletta, does it mean that General Laletta's sudden and proactive attempt to seek the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense is also closely related to the young General Fang in front of him?
Once this idea came into being, there was no way to stop it from spreading. Fang Lang's position and strength in the navy, coupled with the Fang family's current position in Brazil, after some association, Guilherme Karasa had his own answer.
His eyes turned eagerly towards Fang Lang. However, when he saw Fang Lang, a question quickly arose in his mind.
"General Fang, is what General Teach said true?"
In response to this question, Fang Lang just smiled, looked at Guilherme Karasa with a somewhat fiery look in his eyes, and nodded slightly.
"But why don't you take on the post of Minister of the Navy yourself?"
