After hearing Fang Lang's analysis, Reinhardt's expression froze. He obviously hadn't thought about the problem Fang Lang was worried about. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. He just murmured:
"Fang, that shouldn't be the case!"
Fang Lang looked at Reinhardt with a playful expression and said:
"Mr. Reinhardt, did you really not expect this or are you just pretending not to have expected this?"
Looking at Fang Lang's expression, Reinhardt had to show his attitude, and said with a look on his face, afraid that Fang Lang would misunderstand his expression:
"Fang, I have absolutely no intention of hurting you, please believe me. Your words also reminded me that I am not an indispensable person in my family. My father has an illegitimate son who is also serving in the navy. He is more favored by my father than I am.
However, because he is an illegitimate child and has not been recognized by the family, he does not have much support. Once my affairs are exposed, sacrificing me is indeed the simplest and most direct way for the honor of the family.
Fang, please believe me! I swear to God, I never thought of killing anyone. I just wanted to save my military career.
In fact, Fang Lang didn't care what Reinhardt thought at all, because he and Reinhardt were not friends, and he had even been discriminated against by Reinhardt many times. If there was a chance to take advantage of someone's misfortune, Fang Lang would definitely not be polite.
...
...
However, as an adult, interests are above all else. When Fang Lang heard that Reinhardt's father was the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, Fang Lang's first reaction was how much benefit it would bring to his career if he could get to know such a person.
Although the British Empire is now on the decline, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and no one can ignore the British Empire's powerful influence in the world pattern.
But the risk of this matter was too great, Fang Lang did not dare to take the risk. If he was not careful, he might be killed. After hesitating for a long time, he still could not come up with a way to avoid the risk, so Fang Lang had to give up the idea of trying to get something out of trouble.
"Mr. Reinhardt, whether you have thought about it or not, and no matter what you think, it doesn't matter to me, because I will never put the lives of all our brothers on the table for the friendship you mentioned. Do you understand?"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Reinhardt's legs went limp. With his injured leg, he couldn't stand up at all and fell directly to the ground. His face was ashen, and he knew he was finished.
Fang Lang looked at Reinhardt, who was sitting on the ground like a ball of mud. He could not feel any sympathy for him at all and said casually:
"Mr. Reinhardt, why do you have to be like this? With your family background, even if you can't continue to develop in the army, it won't cost you your life. At most, you can just switch to other fields!
If you want to do business, I can still help you. Britain has just experienced the devastation of war and is in urgent need of economic recovery. For the sake of our comrades-in-arms, I can invest in you and make you an important business tycoon in Britain. "
Reinhardt heard Fang Lang's words and shook his head slightly.
"Fang, thank you for your kindness! It's a pity that you don't understand that a family like ours has been able to grow to its current status. The family's financial strength does not require me to continue working hard.
Our family owns a lot of property and wealth in the UK and overseas territories, but in our family only the patriarch has the right to speak on all of this. Once I am sent to a military court, all of this will have nothing to do with me. "
Reinhardt's words made Fang Lang's eyes light up. If the Reinhardt family really owned such a large industry in the UK, gaining his friendship might bring him huge rewards!
"Oh! I wonder what your family is mainly engaged in?"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Reinhardt did not react immediately, but continued with a dull look on his face:
"The family owns a lot of minerals in some overseas territories. In the UK, they are mainly engaged in industries related to shipbuilding. They also undertake some military aircraft manufacturing orders. They have many industries, but I am not sure how many industries they have."
Reinhardt's words left Fang Lang speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that this guy didn't even know what businesses his family had. How could he start this? Just when Fang Lang was still speechless, Reinhardt seemed to realize something. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Lang and said:
"Fang, you want to cooperate with my family, right? Fang, I won't contact my father anymore. Just like you said, if my father knew about my situation, it might happen, but my mother would never do that, because I'm her only son, and she would never watch me lose everything that should belong to me."
It seems that Reinhardt still has not given up, but Fang Lang can also understand his mentality at this time. Fang Lang smiled helplessly and said:
"Mr. Reinhardt, it seems that you have a lot of cards up your sleeve! Could it be that your mother is also so powerful? If so, you don't have to worry about your position being lost!"
Reinhardt knew that Fang Lang would not help himself if his interests were damaged or there was a possibility that his interests would be damaged.
So he said anxiously:
"Fang, my mother certainly doesn't have that much power, but my grandfather is Lord Chatfield, the current chairman of the London Area Casualty Evacuation Committee."
Fang Lang looked speechlessly at Reinhardt, who seemed to be desperate and trying all kinds of treatments. He shook his head helplessly and said:
"Mr. Reinhart, it's not that I won't help you. Are you sure your grandfather, the chairman of the London Area Casualty Evacuation Committee, is in this position? Can he rescue you from this situation?"
This time it was Reinhardt's turn to look at Fang Lang with a strange expression and said:
"Fang, haven't you heard of this name?"
Looking at Reinhardt's weird expression, Fang Lang looked unhappy. Damn! Is this name famous? He is not the Emperor of England, why should I remember him?
Without waiting for Fang Lang to answer, Reinhardt took the initiative to speak:
"My grandfather was the First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy and a Field Marshal of the Royal Navy. Of course, he is now retired. Although he cannot directly command the Royal Navy, I believe that with his influence in the Royal Navy, he must be able to save me.
Moreover, he has no way to directly command the frontline naval forces now, so we don't have to worry about being silenced. Please help me! Fang, as long as I can keep my position in the family, I will spare no effort to repay your kindness in the future, I swear in the name of God! "
Fang Lang was dazzled by Reinhardt’s background. Damn it, no wonder this guy always acted like he was the boss, second only to the earth and third to himself. It turns out he had such a background. If he were to be reborn into his body, wouldn’t he be a lucky guy?
I can't help but sigh that reincarnation is really a technical job! Fang Lang couldn't help but start to think seriously about Reinhardt's words. If he really helped him, what kind of risks would he take!
What kind of benefits would he get? After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Lang had to admit that he was tempted. After all, even if he exposed Reinhardt's affairs, he would at most vent his anger.
However, if he is rescued from this crisis, the benefits he will gain will be foreseeable. However, in order to prevent this guy from crossing the river and destroying the bridge, we must have some real evidence in our hands.
Otherwise, if he turns against me, all my efforts will be in vain.
"Mr. Reinhart, don't blame me for being blunt. If, as you said, your mother helped you suppress this matter, what would I gain? I risked my life to help you conceal this matter. If you don't admit it after returning to England, wouldn't I be at a big loss?"
Reinhardt was clearly prepared and said without hesitation:
"Fang, I will write down the true course of events and sign my name on it. If I go back on my word or do anything that goes against my promise, please make it public. I will be ruined."
However, Fang Lang just smiled and said:
"Mr. Reinhardt, if you really put such a handle in my hand, you will never be able to sleep or eat well in the future. Sooner or later, you will go to war with me to destroy this stain. This is not what I want. What I want is true friendship. So, I decided to take a gamble!"
Fang Lang's words startled Reinhardt, who obviously hadn't thought that Fang Lang was talking about something so far-reaching. His face changed, and he was about to explain. However, when he saw Fang Lang raising his hand to stop him from speaking, he looked at Fang Lang with a puzzled look on his face, waiting for his next words.
