The whole operation went very smoothly. Neither the Xinji nor the Political Department expected the police to launch a sudden operation. After all, the police's action was actually very hasty.
When Xin Ji was blocked by the police in the warehouse before going to the property, it was inevitable that he would be caught red-handed in the smuggling crime.
Xiang Qian certainly would not surrender. He knew very well that once he was caught by the police, he would definitely go to jail for several years, and his career in Hong Kong would be completely ruined.
As for the safety of the goods, he was not worried at all. Even if the police seized them, they would flow out again. Therefore, he did not even think about protecting the goods, but chose to break out as soon as possible.
If they wanted to break out, they would inevitably clash with the police. At that time, the two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, and as a result, Xiang Qian was shot dead on the spot. Even more unfortunate was that during the exchange of fire, the bullet hit the oil barrel filled with gasoline.
Although the gasoline was diluted with water, the layer on top was real gasoline. The sparks from the exchange of fire directly ignited the gasoline, which in turn ignited other supplies.
Finally, when both sides ended the exchange of fire and wanted to put out the fire, it was too late. The entire warehouse was engulfed by fire and all the supplies were burned to ashes.
This made Yao Mu furious, and he pointed at Agui and scolded him. Because the goods were burned, a large part of the money they could earn was lost. Fortunately, everyone knew that the owner of the goods was Xinji, so the police launched a raid on Xinji.
I recovered some of my losses from the Xinji property.
...
...
But not long after Yao Mu finished scolding Agui, a British man from the senior police force came, looked at the blazing fire, glared at Yao Mu with a sullen face, and then turned and left.
Although the other party did not teach Yao Mu a lesson, Yao Mu was still puzzled. Of course, the British did not know what Yao Mu was thinking deep in his heart.
In the eyes of the police, this operation was considered a success, which dealt a heavy blow to the increasingly rampant illegal smuggling gangs.
The only thing that puzzled the police was that the weapon that killed Xiang Qian did not seem to be owned by the police. Instead, it looked like a sniper rifle from a long distance.
The fire in the warehouse did not arouse people's suspicion. After all, there was fierce fighting between the two sides at the time, and no one paid attention to where the bullet hit the gasoline barrel.
Afterwards, the British did not do anything to Yao Mu except calling him to the police station and reprimanding him for not following the procedures. After all, Yao Mu's actions were carried out in accordance with the requirements of the top leaders.
What's more, the top police officers also had their share of the benefits they gained from the operation, so of course no one would say much about it.
Yao Mu's explanation for the reprimand from his superiors was very simple, but time was urgent and there was no time to report it. If he had to wait until the report was completed, the goods would probably have been shipped away.
After the Political Department learned about the entire process of the operation, they did not doubt Yao Mu. However, Agui, the guy who led the operation, was investigated by them for a long time. But in the end, after much investigation, it was found that there was no problem with Agui's entire operation, except that his source of information was heard from the casual conversation of several gangsters.
In the end, the Political Department could only blame it on Xinji’s inadequate confidentiality, which led to the police discovering the clues.
The real mastermind behind this operation had never entered the political department's field of vision from beginning to end. Except for Yao Mu and Zeng Yuehan, no one really knew the truth of the matter.
On the other hand, when the news of the hometown's official involvement in the Peninsula War reached Brazil, the entire Brazilian military was shocked. Because the development of the matter was exactly as Fang Lang had expected, the Peninsula became a battlefield for the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Although both sides can still maintain basic restraint, who can say what will happen in the end! If the situation is not favorable to the North, who knows whether the Soviet Union will choose to directly join the war. In this case, will the war turn into a nuclear war?
With this concern, everyone had a clearer understanding of Fang Lang's strategic vision. This allowed Fang Lang's influence in the Brazilian military to further expand.
Everyone asked Fang Lang to come forward and analyze the war situation on the peninsula. In response, Fang Lang rejected the idea without hesitation.
You have to know that he comes from the future, and he has a clear understanding of the future war situation on the peninsula. If he were to analyze it himself, he might inadvertently reveal some of the actions of his hometown. If the Americans find out, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Therefore, he would never step out and participate in this damn war game simulation.
Most of his energy was focused on the Global Group's infiltration into Japan. From time to time, he would adjust the Global Group's layout in Japan based on the intelligence sent back from Japan.
They had to show an attitude of actively supporting the US military, while controlling the rhythm. From time to time, they had to provide the Japanese Avengers with a few of their own factories as targets for destruction. The purpose was to quietly hinder the Americans.
The Americans never imagined that the Global Group, which was furious every day in its own United Nations Command, would be the mastermind behind the Japanese extremist organization the Avengers.
Because, apart from the United Nations forces, the group that suffered the most from the Avengers was the Global Group, which was the most active in supporting them.
What they didn't know was that Japan had unknowingly lost its original technological strength, and even the automobile engine technology that it could have produced completely independently had quietly disappeared.
What replaced them were a bunch of OEM factories without core technologies. What is even more frightening is that many Japanese experts and scholars disappeared without knowing it. Some of them left Japan, some died in burglary, and some died in car accidents.
In short, the biggest winner of the Peninsula War in history has unknowingly changed from Japan to the Global Group. Japanese technology, which should have risen rapidly, has also quietly become a cheap labor market.
Of course, Japan's economy must have recovered rapidly because the people did receive real income.
At the same time, Global Group also actively participated in the post-war reconstruction of the South Peninsula, and was preparing to build a container terminal and container production plant in the South Peninsula.
It also acquired factories with potential in the Southern Peninsula that had closed down due to the war, and took the initiative to undertake the reconstruction of infrastructure in the Southern Peninsula. Among them, the Global Group's advantages such as steel, shipbuilding, energy, etc. were steadily and systematically involved.
Fang Lang’s goal is very simple, which is to quietly steal the development opportunities of Japan and South Korea. In addition to this peninsula war, the future Vietnam War will be an opportunity for Japan and South Korea to rise further.
Knowing the history, Fang Lang would certainly not miss such an opportunity.
Because his hometown was directly involved in the Peninsula War, Fang Lang was mostly making plans while holding back.
But in the Vietnam War, Fang Lang would not trip up the Americans like he is doing now. Although some people from his hometown also participated in the Vietnam War, they did not directly participate in the war on a large scale. Therefore, he was not prepared to drag his feet behind the Americans like he did in the Peninsula War.
Because, in his mind, neither Vietnam nor the United States are good people. He would never miss the opportunity to make them fight each other and squeeze all the money out of them.
In addition to the economic layout, Fang Lang also organized his officers to review the strategies and tactics of both sides of the war. Although the main battlefield of this war was on land, the importance of air supremacy was further verified in this war.
Historically, the United States also realized through the Peninsula War that it was difficult for them to win a local war on the ground. After the war, they quickly shifted the focus of their armaments to nuclear weapons and air force.
This is why the US Air Force was so large during the Vietnam War.
What Fang Lang has to do is to guide his officers to realize the importance of the future air force. Although he is the Deputy Minister of the Navy, he is thinking about controlling the entire Brazilian military power behind the scenes in the future.
If you don't take advantage of the current opportunity to cultivate the strategic vision of your officers, you won't have many opportunities in the future.
To this end, his contacts with Brazil's Air Force Minister General Nero Moura became closer. Later, officers from the Air Force Ministry also took the initiative to join the war review activities organized by the Navy Ministry.
After Fang Lang's deliberate guidance, everyone realized the importance of the air force in the war. Then, General Nero Mora could not wait to ask Fang Lang to complete the finalization of the FY-1 fighter as soon as possible. At the same time, he proposed the idea of researching Brazil's own bomber.
Fang Lang was naturally happy to see this happen. After all, this was all business. As long as the Air Force Department could convince the Ministry of National Defense to continue investing funds in research on bombers, Fang Lang certainly had no reason to refuse.
In fact, when Fang Lang first saw the design drawing that looked very similar to the B2 stealth bomber, he had the idea of continuing research and development along this path.
Even Fang Lang, who had memories of later life, was very clear that after the Peninsula War, both the Soviet Union and the United States were developing bombers in the direction of supersonic strategic bombers. This was determined by the Cold War consciousness of the US-Soviet hegemony.
But Fang Lang now looks at the problem more rationally than before, and will not start this project on impulse. He is now very clear that in Brazil's situation, these aircraft are not practical at all. First of all, the investment is too large. Even if it is developed, the number of equipment for the Brazilian army will definitely be limited.
Apart from the United States and the Soviet Union, few countries can afford this type of aircraft, so this is definitely a losing deal, unless Brazil is also prepared to become the world's third pole in the future and engage in an arms race with the United States and the Soviet Union.
But this is obviously impossible. Basically, Fang Lang, like all Chinese people, is not a warlike person. What he wants to do is to maintain peace and stability in Brazil, safeguard the interests of the Fang family in Brazil, and help his hometown whenever he has the chance.
Therefore, in his current opinion, instead of researching such strategic bombers that cannot make a profit at all, it is better to focus on tactical bombers with a broader market. Tactical bombers in modern society are often multi-purpose fighters.
The market prospects of this type of fighter are much broader than those of high-altitude, high-speed strategic bombers with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers.
Moreover, multi-purpose fighter jets equipped with aerial bombs, precision-guided bombs, and air-to-ground missiles will definitely not be ambiguous when carrying out strategic bombing missions.
Given Brazil's national conditions, it is more practical to have an appropriate number of multi-purpose fighter jets than to have several high-altitude, high-speed strategic bombers with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers.
Moreover, Fang Lang, who came from the future, knew very well that multi-purpose fighters were the future development trend. Instead of investing huge sums of money to develop bombers that might lose money, it would be better to enter the market early and start researching multi-purpose fighters.
By then, even if it is just one step ahead, Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company will be able to earn huge profits from the world arms market.
If Fang Lang were to say which multi-purpose fighter jet he personally likes the most, it would definitely be the F14 Tomcat fighter jet developed by the Americans in the 1970s. The adjustable variable sweep wing design really fascinated Fang Lang.
Especially when he completely swept back, his flying posture became like an arrow, which was really cool.
Unfortunately, although this aircraft is extremely handsome, it is not a truly excellent multi-purpose fighter. Although its flight speed can reach Mach 2.5 and it has good fuel economy.
But from the beginning, the design purpose of this fighter was not to be a multi-purpose fighter. The Americans developed it for one and only one purpose, which was to hunt down Soviet bombers.
What made Fang Lang retreat was that this aircraft was too expensive. The Brazilian Air Force had no ability to equip it on a large scale. Even if it was finally equipped, the high maintenance cost would prevent it from taking off.
Therefore, even though Fang Lang likes this aircraft very much, he will never develop this F14 just for his own preference. At worst, he can buy one from the Americans and play with it himself when he has the chance.
