Fang Lang didn't expect that the information brought by Cilio Recchi this time was actually about the Labor Party Chairman Vargas. Fang Lang actually has quite a lot of admiration for this former Brazilian president, even though he came to power through a coup as a dictator.
However, he brought great changes to Brazil during his tenure, and his governing ideas were relatively flexible. Everything was based on Brazil's actual needs, and he did not simply follow the footsteps of certain countries.
Perhaps it is because of this that, in history, he was overthrown by pro-American forces just after the war was won.
Unfortunately, in order to rise quickly, Fang Lang now has to choose to rely on the United States and become one of the representatives of the pro-American faction in Brazil.
But in fact, in Fang Lang's heart, he has no good feelings towards the United States at all. The reason why he has become pro-American now is just because he can get the greatest benefits in the shortest time.
He is very clear about the history behind this. Brazil is the backyard of the United States. If he does not rely on the United States, he will not be able to make any progress in Brazil.
Only when he has a pivotal position in both Brazil and the United States and makes the Americans dare not easily attack him, can he make his voice heard in Brazil.
But now his identity destined him to be unable to stand on the same front with President Vargas, and conflicts are inevitable.
This is also the reason why he arranged for intelligence personnel to infiltrate the other party.
...
...
"Oh! What kind of information is that? Why do you have to make a personal trip?"
"Our people overheard that Mr. Vargas arranged for someone to enter the Fangyuan Group Union to collect intelligence on the union. It seems that he is preparing to launch an investigation into the union."
Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Sirio Reci with confusion.
"What do you mean, what happened to our group's union? What kind of investigation did you initiate?"
Seeing Fang Lang's puzzled expression, Syrio Recchi smiled bitterly and said:
“Based on what we heard, it seems that they are deliberately trying to create some troubles to lead the union workers to believe that the group union is a means for the group to exploit the workers and is not a workers’ organization that represents the interests of the workers.
At the same time, they are also preparing to mobilize members of Congress to classify the Fangyuan Group Trade Union as an illegal non-political organization. Request to cancel. ”
Hearing what Cirio Recci said, Fang Lang looked at him in disbelief. He knew that the Labor Party had always wanted to establish a trade union organization within the Fangyuan Group.
But Fang Lang discovered it in time, so he set up a trade union organization within the company under their own control before them.
Given Fangyuan Group's influence in Brazil, this obviously disrupted the Labor Party's development plans. Therefore, Fang Lang had long anticipated that the Labor Party would take action against his own trade union organization.
Hearing the news now, he was not surprised, but he did not expect that the other party would deliberately create some trouble to undermine the reputation of the union as the first step.
Haven't they ever thought that this tactic is a disadvantageous one that kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of their own people? The problems that exist in the Fangyuan Group’s trade union, don’t they also exist in the trade union organized by their labor party?
As for the fact that there were no problems in his union, Fang Lang would not believe it. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. As long as it is an organization controlled by people, there will inevitably be conflicts of interest among all parties, and conflicts between people will also exist accordingly.
What's more, in the final analysis, the trade union organization of Fangyuan Group is not an organization that truly represents the interests of workers. It is just a tool used by Fangyuan Group to appease the emotions of workers. The Labour Party can weaken the influence of trade unions by deliberately provoking conflicts between trade union cadres and workers.
Fang Lang was not worried at all about their plan to push in Congress to classify the Fangyuan Group Union as an illegal non-political organization. Even if this bill was passed, Fang Lang could just form a new political party, or affiliate the union with the National Alliance or the Social Democratic Party, and solve this problem once and for all.
The reason why Fang Lang did not do this originally was actually because he was very optimistic about the future development of the Labour Party. He wanted to step forward and intervene in the management of the Labour Party and become the behind-the-scenes boss of the Labour Party when the Labour Party was hit in the future.
But now it seems that the situation no longer allows it. His opponents are not prepared to give him the opportunity to continue to survive and develop. The development of their Fangyuan Group Trade Union has aroused the Labor Party's high vigilance.
Hearing this, Fang Lang pondered for a long time before slowly speaking:
"Do you know what kind of trouble they are going to cause?"
Syrio Regis shook his head and said:
"We don't know yet, but we have already tracked down the person responsible for carrying out this matter."
Fang Lang frowned and reached out to touch his chin.
"No matter what they want to do, send more people from now on to keep a close eye on them. I want to know their every move.
In addition, has the Navy taken any action regarding the captain of the battleship Minas Gerais, Colonel Marcelino Orlando, who had private contacts with the Labor Party? ”
Fang Lang was very clear about the importance of politics. He never meant to look down on these politicians. As early as when he became the head of the Nice Company, he unexpectedly gained the resources of the Social Democratic Party, which made it possible for him to achieve twice the result with half the effort in many things.
From then on, he began to deliberately get involved in the political field. His uncle Yang Gan, as a member of the National Alliance, served as the mayor's secretary in São Paulo, which was also his tentacles reaching out to the political field.
However, considering that his military identity is very sensitive and that he has no real confidants in the various political parties, he has not intervened in the political field in a big way.
The current situation seems to be beyond his control. If he does not take the initiative to intervene in the political field, others may take action against his own property.
“General Crook summoned Colonel Orlando to the Navy Department and reprimanded him, but since there was no substantial evidence, there was no way to take further action against them directly.
The President also expressed serious concern about the matter, and Defense Minister Marshal Moraes personally asked General Crook for his advice on how to deal with the matter.
It is said that General Crook has already started looking for a new captain for the battleship Minas Gerais, and Colonel Orlando probably won't be able to stay in this position for long. ”
Fang Lang was not surprised by this. It was actually inevitable that there was a connection between military generals and the opposition party. After all, humans are social animals and they always have relatives and friends, so there will inevitably be intersections.
Therefore, in most cases, people turn a blind eye to this situation, but the case of Colonel Orlando is extremely rare. He actually went to other countries to inspect warships without the military's knowledge.
If Fang Lang had not been invited to the UK this time and was not asked about this matter by General Henderson, both the Navy Department and the Ministry of Defense would have been kept in the dark, and this problem would have been serious.
No wonder both the President and the Secretary of Defense got personally involved.
Of course, this incident did not actually have a great impact only on Colonel Orlando. If Fang Lang's guess was correct, Congress would soon question the Labor Party's initiative to contact military generals.
It is possible that the Labor Party's sudden action against the union of Fangyuan Group is a tactic to divert trouble to the east. It is also possible that they want to use the relationship between Fangyuan Group and Fang Lang to drag Fang Lang into the water.
To share the firepower that the Labor Party will soon face, Fang Lang frowned even more tightly when he thought of this. He had originally thought of establishing a new political party based on the current trade union organization.
It seems that they can’t do this now. Maybe the other party is waiting for them here! However, since others have already made a move, it is obviously not his habit to passively take the beating if he does not make any moves.
After thinking for a while, Fang Lang nodded and said to Syrio Regis:
"I understand. You go down first!"
Seeing that Fang Lang already knew the current situation, Sirio Reci did not stay any longer. After saluting, he turned around and left.
Fang Lang returned to the beach chair by the sea, looking at the sea in the distance and fell into deep thought.
Audrey Hepburn, who was standing by, understood that the other person was thinking about something, so she didn't disturb him. She ran into the sea and swam for a while before coming ashore wrapped in a towel.
By the time Audrey Hepburn returned to the beach chair, Fang Lang had already thought of a plan. He put his arm around Audrey's slender waist with a smile on his face and returned to his officer's villa.
That night, Fang Lang called his father in Sao Paulo and explained everything to him.
The next morning an unexpected person arrived in Natal on the earliest flight.
Fang Lang, who was working in the office, looked at Xin Shiliang who came in behind Qi Qingshan. He stood up from behind his desk with some surprise and said:
"Mr. Xin, I didn't expect my father would send you here."
Xin Shiliang was one of the Chinese rescued from a tantalum mine not far from Natal when Fang Lang was eliminating hidden Japanese forces in Natal.
This middle-aged man, who had served as the office director of Fengtian City Hall, had left a very deep impression on Fang Lang. After he recovered, Fang Lang recommended him to his father to serve as the secretary-general of the Fangyuan Group Secretariat.
I seldom go to Fangyuan Group, so I haven't seen Mr. Xin Shiliang for a long time. I didn't expect that my father would send him here this time. But after thinking about it, Fang Lang understood that the only person the Fang family could trust who had experience in politics should be this person.
Xin Shiliang revisited the place again, returned to Natal and came to Fang Lang's office. He was very excited. You know, if it weren't for the soldiers under Fang Lang who rescued them from the Japanese mine, they would have been dead or alive long ago.
He would never forget Fang Lang's life-saving grace. Moreover, Fang's father and son later trusted him very much and directly appointed him as the director of the secretariat of Fangyuan Group. It is no exaggeration to say that this position is incomparable to his previous position as the director of the Fengtian City Hall Office or the assistant manager of the food factory.
Only those who have actually worked in Fangyuan Group's head office know how huge the scale of Fangyuan Group is. Xin Shiliang never dared to imagine such a company.
He was a miner with nothing and couldn't even speak Portuguese, but he was directly assigned to the secretariat as secretary-general, which was something he had never dared to imagine.
Now he has not only settled down in São Paulo, but also started a new family and married a Chinese immigrant woman.
Therefore, his gratitude to the Fang family was beyond words. This time, when he received Fang Xinshan's order, he immediately took the earliest flight and rushed here.
"Young Master, I'm glad to see you again! I didn't expect you still remembered me!"
Fang Lang was stunned by Xin Shiliang's new name and almost didn't react for a while. But he soon understood what the other party meant.
This name, which clearly carries a feudal legacy, is actually Xin Shiliang's way of expressing his loyalty to himself! Because this title was mostly used by the shopkeeper to address the small boss during the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, the manager of a household was generally a lifelong employee and was not much different from a household slave.
Fang Lang didn't say much after hearing this, he just laughed and said:
"I was the one who recommended you to my father. How could I not remember you? Come, come, come, Mr. Xin, you have worked hard all the way here. Let's sit down and talk."
As he spoke, Fang Lang pointed at the tea table in the office and motioned for the other party to take a seat.
When Qi Qingshan saw Fang Lang guiding Xin Shiliang to take his seat, he stood at attention and saluted:
"Boss, you can chat with Mr. Xin slowly. I'll go downstairs and get busy first."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang nodded and did not try to keep the other party.
Upon seeing this, Xin Shiliang quickly turned around and nodded to Qi Qingshan. Qi Qingshan also nodded in response with a smile on his face, then left the room and gently closed the door.
After Qi Qingshan left the room, Xin Shiliang didn't hesitate and sat down at the tea table.
"If it weren't for the young master, Shiliang would probably still be mining in the Japanese mines! Who knows where and when he would die.
Looking at my life now, I can’t even imagine it! ”
Fang Lang listened to the other party's sigh and just smiled. He didn't want to blackmail him for a favor, so he didn't intend to be too polite with the other party on this issue.
As he started to make tea, he smiled and said:
“There is no need to talk about these past events anymore. We are all Chinese, and it is natural for us to help each other in a foreign country.
I didn't expect that my father would send you here this time. ”
When Xin Shiliang heard Fang Lang's words, he understood the other party's attitude. He wanted to get straight to the point and start talking about business. He immediately straightened his attitude and his expression became serious.
"My boss called me home last night and asked me if I was willing to come and work under you. I agreed without even thinking about it."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xin Shiliang with some surprise. He thought his father would directly tell the other party what work he would be responsible for.
But now it seems that the father obviously did not tell the other party. Thinking that the other party once served as the office director of Fengtian City Hall, I understood why my father sent him here.
Instead of telling the other party the content of the job and just saying that they will work under him, it is obvious that he wants the other party to understand who he should be responsible to.
I have to say that this is a biological father. He considers his son in everything. When he needs someone to cooperate with him in his work, he sends the most suitable person under his command without hesitation.
"You agreed without even thinking about it? Aren't you afraid that this is a dangerous job?"
Xin Shiliang smiled confidently upon hearing this:
"Young Master, you are joking. You are a powerful general in the Brazilian Navy, and you have many brave warriors under your command. If it is really a dangerous job, it would not be the turn of a scholar like me."
