Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 238 Response in advance

  Fang Lang noticed that General Crook was visibly relieved after hearing his words.

   Obviously, the two have the same attitude on this matter. The Admiralty is already at a disadvantage. How could it be willing to use its own department's military expenses to support an officer of the Army Department to form an armored force.

  Although this is an army officer who was squeezed out by the Ministry of the Army, it cannot change his natural army faction attributes.

  This is the benefit of marrying a good wife, enjoying the benefits of being brought to you, of course you have to bear the corresponding consequences.

  If this Colonel Valdo Grama has excellent abilities and can get along well in the Ministry of War, of course it will be smooth sailing and he will not encounter any problems.

  But now that he has transferred to the Ministry of the Navy, the inherent attributes in him that could bring him a boost will become obstacles to his development.

   "The current development focus of our Admiralty is to strengthen the overall strength of the navy.

  Most of the warships in other naval theaters are old, and we are planning to gradually replace the existing warships.

  You don't have enough financial resources to continue purchasing equipment for your First Fleet. "

  General Crook's meaning was very obvious, and Fang Lang understood it when he heard it.

  He also understands that there are actually complaints about his First Fleet within the Navy. After all, all the advanced equipment of the Navy is now concentrated in his First Fleet.

  Others are still using outdated pre-World War I equipment, which will feel unfair to anyone.

   Hasn't his friend, Colonel Teach, been envious of new destroyers for a long time?

   Originally, he also wanted to add two professional supply ships to his fleet. However, looking at the situation now, it should be unlikely in a short period of time.

   After a few words, the two reached a tacit agreement.

  The incoming Marine Corps officer didn't know that the Ministry of the Navy had already set up obstacles for him before he took office, and it was destined that his future military career would not go smoothly.

   "Your Excellency, if we target this person excessively, will it have any bad influence on you?"

  After hearing this, General Crook exhaled a smoke ring and said:

   "Can there be any bad influence, the fact is that the current situation is like this, the entire Admiralty is reacting, we are too partial to your First Fleet.

  We also have to consider the development of other naval theaters!

  If the Ministry of the Army is willing to take the initiative to support the armored equipment, I will definitely agree with it. "

  As for General Crook saying that he favored the First Fleet, Fang Lang just smiled and did not refute.

  However, from the attitude of the other party, Fang Lang can also see that it should be impossible to continue to increase the strength of the First Fleet in the future.

  Fang Lang also understands that this is the reality. The First Fleet is now the dominant company, which is equivalent to owning more than half of the strength of the Brazilian Navy. This kind of development is very abnormal.

   If you continue to be greedy, you might be targeted by other colleagues, which is not conducive to Fang Lang's future development.

   "If the Ministry of War is really willing to purchase armored equipment, it won't kick our Mr. Colonel into the Navy.

   I don't know what instructions you have for this Mr. Colonel. "

  The more General Crook looked at Fang Lang, the more satisfied he felt, with strong ability, strong relationship, and knowing how to advance and retreat.

   Now actively asking himself about the arrangements for the newly appointed colonel is obviously giving himself enough face.

   "As far as I know, this Colonel Valdo Grama is straightforward, assertive, and proud.

   When interacting with him, you must pay attention to the method and method, and don't directly conflict with him. When the time comes, you will make a joke, which will have a bad influence on you, the superior.

  Of course, as a superior, you should criticize your subordinates seriously when they should criticize their mistakes. When it's time to punish, don't be soft.

  The most important thing is that since it is the Marine Corps of the Navy, we must ensure that this team can obey orders and obey commands. "

   Fang Lang had to sigh, there are many twists and turns in this foreign officialdom!

  As soon as he heard the description of the colonel of General Crook, Fang Lang understood what kind of person the other party was.

  He has a straightforward personality. Doesn't it mean that he can't speak his head, which is a bit ugly?

   Very assertive, that is, very confident, not listening to other people's opinions, isn't this arrogance?

   As for being more proud of others, all he has to do is tell himself directly about this arrogant and domineering guy.

   Don't have a direct conflict with him yet, isn't this just a clear reminder to yourself that this guy is a difficult person to deal with, maybe you will have a direct conflict with yourself?

  If this kind of person criticizes him seriously, it is estimated that the other party may not listen to what he says!

  Don’t be soft-handed when punishing, is it to remind yourself that if you want to do something, you have to trample him to death directly, and don’t give him a chance to stand up?

   There is no need to translate the meaning of the last sentence, the meaning is already clear.

  After listening to General Crook's words, Fang Lang couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while. He thought he was living too easily, and he wanted to make trouble for himself!

  After thinking about it, Fang Lang asked General Crook directly:

   "Your Excellency, has the Ministry of the Navy given clear instructions on the establishment of our Marine Corps?"

  General Crook didn't understand why Fang Lang suddenly changed the topic to the establishment.

   shook his head and said:

   "Your First Fleet was originally a bold attempt by the navy, and it didn't give a clear framework. What's the matter? What do you think?"

  Fang Lang pondered for a while and then said:

   "Your Excellency, General, I plan to divide the entire Marine Corps into five battalion-level units. There will be no regiment-level headquarters in the middle, and the brigade will directly command the battalion.

  Do you think this is okay? "

  Most of the current army formations are companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, and corps. This level of organization is organized according to the three-three system. Of course, some countries have no brigade-level organization.

  Fang Lang's method of organizing five battalions directly under the command of the brigade is obviously the first in Brazil.

  He was a naval officer, and for a while he didn't understand the reason for Fang Lang's formation.

  But soon, he thought of one thing. Fang Lang must have thought of his confidantes. The current rank is not enough to be a regiment-level officer, but they can be directly promoted to the position of battalion commander.

  He can directly bypass the brigade commander to command these battalion commanders. When he directs to each battalion, the brigade headquarters will naturally be emptied.

  Thinking of this, General Crook couldn't help giving a thumbs up in his heart.

   nodded in satisfaction and said:

   "As the commander of the First Fleet, you have the right to decide the organization plan of your troops.

  I have no objection, you can write a report to me later, and I will sign it for confirmation.

  You have to hurry up and complete the formation of the troops as soon as possible. "

  Fang Lang didn't expect that General Crook would agree to such a big matter so easily, and he also deliberately asked him to complete the formation before the other party's arrival, creating an established fact.

  It seems that the other party should have thought of part of his purpose.

  Since the Chief of Staff of the Navy has made it clear that he can directly sign and confirm, it is obvious that he has obtained some authorization.

  Fang Lang has been in the Navy for so long, but he has never met the Minister of the Navy of Brazil. He heard that he has been on sick leave, and the real power in the Navy Department is basically the Chief of Staff of the Navy Department in front of him.

  It seems that the Secretary of the Navy of the Ministry of the Navy should also be ostracized, so he didn't bother to show his embarrassment!

   But Fang Lang didn't understand, why didn't the Chief of Staff take another step up?

   This thought just passed in Fang Lang's mind, and he stopped paying attention to it. After all, he is not yet capable of participating in this level of struggle.

  As long as the other party dares to express his endorsement for himself, Fang Lang no longer has any scruples, and he can execute boldly with confidence.

   "Yes, Your Excellency General!"

   Both of them were very efficient. Before the welcome dinner that night started, Fang Lang had already obtained General Crook's signature and approval of the Brazilian Navy's First Fleet Marine Corps organization plan.

  The letter of appointment submitted by the Chief of Staff of the First Fleet de la Torre, regarding the five marine battalions, battalion and company commanders, was also signed and agreed by Fang Lang and General Crook.

  Duarte and other five former Marine Corps officers directly became the chief officers of the newly formed Marine Corps Real Power Battalion.

   Zhuang Xintian, who was still floating at sea, was also exceptionally promoted to become the second battalion commander of the Marine Corps of the First Fleet.

  The work efficiency of the navy this time has directly created the history since the establishment of the navy.

   That night, when the officers were still singing and dancing at the welcome dinner, the Marine Corps barracks had already completed the reorganization.

  The soldiers have all followed their chief officers directly and moved into the reassigned barracks.

  When the Marine Corps resumed its day of training early the next morning, Guan Lang, the highest commander of the First Fleet, personally took the stage and organized all members of the Marine Corps to conduct the first group lecture.

  General Crook of the Brazilian Navy Department also came to the stage in person to encourage the soldiers.

  Finally, Fang Lang directly invited out, and asked General Clark to help him recruit more than forty veteran sergeant majors of the US Marine Corps to serve as military training instructors of the Marine Corps.

   These sergeant majors are all veterans who survived nine deaths on the Pacific battlefield, and each has his own unique skills.

   There are also three sergeant majors from the 101st Airborne Division who will be responsible for training the soldiers in airborne tactics.

  The entire training program lasted nearly six months, and General Crook, a general from the navy, didn't see any tricks.

  However, this training plan made the scalps of these American sergeant majors numb.

  Because Fang Lang's training requirements for each item far exceed the training requirements of the US Marine Corps.

   What puzzled these sergeant majors even more was that Fang Lang said that after the training, he would organize an internal selection, and form three small naval special tactics research teams of about ten people through elimination selection.

  They don't know the specific research content.

  Because, after being selected, the training of the soldiers will no longer require them to participate.

   Instead, Fang Lang, the supreme commander of the First Fleet, is in charge.

   This naval special tactics research team is a combat unit directly under the First Fleet Command.

   If you can pass Fang Lang's training and successfully become a full member of this team, you will be directly awarded the rank of second lieutenant.

   That is to say, this will be a combat team composed entirely of officers.

  When this news reached the ears of every marine soldier through Fang Lang's lecture, the training enthusiasm of the entire army was directly ignited.

  This is an opportunity to upgrade from a soldier to an officer!

  In peacetime, without military achievements, it is simply impossible to upgrade from an ordinary soldier to an officer.
