No matter how high-sounding the other side's words are, they actually fully expose the status of the Brazilian government in the minds of Americans, that is, they are definitely their own little brother.
Therefore, in the eyes of the American ambassador, Ciriaco Reina, it is normal for the United States to provide guidance to Brazil. A big part of the reason why Fang Lang was able to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to the current vice admiral and deputy minister of the Navy in such a short period of time is that everyone thinks he is pro-American.
Many officials in the government and the military naturally have a sense of intimacy with him. But even so, there are some things that can be done but not said.
Needless to say, the United States certainly has a considerable influence on the Brazilian government, which is why former President Dutra broke off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union regardless of the consequences.
But it is precisely because of this that many Brazilians have caused dissatisfaction. After all, Brazil is an independent country in every way. Which Brazilian would like his country to be ordered around by someone else?
Therefore, President Dutra quickly lost the support of the people and was defeated again by President Vargas, who had independent national thinking. Although President Vargas failed to be re-elected due to Fang Lang's intervention.
But national consciousness is rising in Brazil, and the new president Scalia has to respect this trend of thought. And Fang Lang has never been a so-called pro-American from the beginning to the end.
The reason why he has a close relationship with the Americans is simply because he understands history and knows how to stand in the right line. Therefore, this has led many people to misjudge him.
Even his own subordinates sometimes actively act as the vanguard of the pro-American faction. Only those who are truly close to him know that this guy has never been pro-American. Only his family members know that he is a complete pro-China faction.
...
...
Therefore, after hearing what the American ambassador, Ciriaco Reina, said, he changed his face and asked whether the United States wanted to intervene in the management of the Brazilian army.
This kind of thing can be done quietly, but how can it be put on the table? If outsiders knew that someone in the Brazilian army had close ties with the Americans and was willing to be their lackey, then that person would definitely be doomed.
Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be acknowledged by any party.
As for what Ciriaco Reina said about providing Brazil with the latest jet fighters, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown. He was very familiar with this routine.
Knowing clearly that Brazil already has the capability to independently develop jet fighters, and that the first jet fighter developed by Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is about to be officially finalized, you Americans come out now and want to buy American jet fighters for Brazil.
Aren't you just trying to cut off our Brazilian independent aircraft development? I'm used to your tricks, how can I let you succeed? What's more, the aircraft manufacturing company you're targeting is our Fang family's industry.
Isn't this trying to cut off my roots right in front of me?
With a sneer on his face, Fang Lang glanced at the annoying American ambassador and said coldly:
"Mr. Reina came to visit me unexpectedly today. He should be aware of my attitude towards joining the UN forces!"
This statement directly made the meaning clear.
Ciriaco Reina, the American ambassador who had been trying to hide the fact that he had only visited the country after hearing the news, couldn't help but blink when he heard this and thought to himself that something was wrong.
He couldn't help but put on a bitter smile and slowly said:
"We have heard about Mr. Fang's attitude, and we can understand his concerns. I came here today to explain the misunderstanding to Mr. Fang.
Our United Nations Forces were established to maintain world peace and stability. The reason we went to the Pacific to interfere in the situation on the peninsula this time was because the North Peninsula suddenly launched an invasion of the South Peninsula.
I think as a responsible big country, we should not allow a country like the North Peninsula to annex the free and democratic South Peninsula, right? This is a regression of civilization, and any country with a sense of justice should not allow this to happen.
The goal of establishing our United Nations forces is to restore the original structure of the peninsula, not to support the South Peninsula's annexation of the North Peninsula.
We have reason to believe that without crossing the border, the two countries will not intervene in the war on the peninsula."
Looking at the diplomat in front of him who was talking official language, Fang Lang curled his lips with some disdain. The affairs of the Peninsula should naturally be decided by the people of the Peninsula themselves. Do they need you Americans to step out and make decisions?
What do you mean by maintaining world peace? Others may not know what kind of people you Americans are, but I know that too. It's good enough that you don't stir up trouble everywhere. It's a joke to expect you to maintain world peace.
You said that you were only restoring the original structure of the peninsula, but on October 1, 1950, the United Nations forces led by the United States directly crossed the border and headed towards the northern peninsula. Is this what you mean by restoring the original structure?
Of course, these things have not happened yet, and the content of the current UN resolution is indeed only about restoring the situation on the peninsula. Judging from the current situation alone, there is really no way to refute what Ciriaco Reina said. Fang Lang can't say, "I know history. After completing this stage of thinking, you did not stop there, but planned to annex the entire northern peninsula!"
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Fang Lang decided to come clean. He tapped the armrest of the armchair with his fingers unconsciously and said:
“Mr. Reina, I have also seen your motion at the United Nations General Assembly, and I am very familiar with the situations you mentioned.
However, I have to say sorry for letting me lead the fleet to join the Peninsula War. It's not that I am unwilling to contribute my own strength to peace.
The truth is that as a Chinese, I do not want to get involved in a war that may lead to a conflict with my compatriots.
Although you are not prepared to clash with the other side now, I am unwilling to take such a risk. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing Fang Lang bring up his Chinese identity, Ciriaco Reina knew that he couldn't say anything more. But of course he wouldn't give up. After a light cough, he spoke directly:
"General Fang, I understand your concerns. Since you are unwilling to get involved in it yourself, can you help us convince the Brazilian government to send part of its army to join our United Nations forces?
This kind of thing is a good opportunity to enhance Brazil's international influence, and I think Brazil should really join in it."
This time, Fang Lang had a deep understanding of the diplomat's shamelessness. After all this time, he realized that this guy knew that he was unwilling to participate, so he deliberately tried to persuade him to lead the fleet to join the United Nations forces.
After I refused, he then asked me for the next best thing and helped persuade the Brazilian government to send some troops to participate, hoping that I would not refuse him twice. This was a very calculating plan.
At the same time, Fang Lang also understood their purpose. What the Americans wanted was not military support, but political support.
But Fang Lang would not be fooled by his low-level tricks, and rejected it without even thinking:
“Mr. Reina, as far as I know, the army’s focus is now on dealing with Argentina’s border provocations, and it has no time to pay attention to the peninsula war thousands of miles away.
It's not that we in Brazil are unwilling to participate, but we are not actually allowed to participate.
However, please rest assured, Mr. Reina, although we cannot provide direct military support.
However, we are very willing to provide indirect support. For example, our aircraft manufacturing company has obtained the Bell 47 production authorization from Bell.
If your country's production scale cannot keep up, our company is very willing to set up a production line to fill the shortage of production capacity in this area."
Seeing that Reina seemed to be about to raise an objection, he quickly spoke again:
“At the same time, Global Shipping, a subsidiary of our Global Group, is also willing to fully support the UN forces’ operation. We will mobilize enough of the latest container ships to help the UN forces transport materials and supplies.
If the UN forces can build a complete container terminal in the South Peninsula, our container ships can also transport supplies directly to the South Peninsula at the risk of being sunk.
Of course, if the South Peninsula government allows it, our Global Terminal Company can also directly invest in building a large container terminal in the South Peninsula to facilitate the transportation of military supplies directly to the South Peninsula."
When Fang Lang said this, Ciriaco Reina was also a little confused. Did I really misunderstand the young guy in front of me? You said he was against the United States! He was willing to fully support the actions of the United States in the private sector.
They were even willing to send their own cargo ships to help the US military transport supplies, even at the risk of being sunk and struck by mines.
But you say he is not against the United States! He is against Brazil joining the UN Army and even publicizes the risk of nuclear war to prevent the Brazilian government from joining the UN Army.
For a moment he was confused and could only look at Fang Lang with some doubt.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Fang Lang hesitated for a moment and continued:
“If Mr. Reina feels that this is not enough, I heard that the U.S. troops stationed in Japan were unable to withdraw enough troops in time to join the war on the peninsula because they had to take into account Japan’s public security issues.
It just so happens that my company, the Whip of God military contracting company, has a branch in Japan. We are willing to take on the task of maintaining law and order in Japan at a suitable price, so that the US military can devote itself wholeheartedly to the war on the peninsula.
This is also my personal contribution to the peace and stability of Asia. Do you think it's okay?"
