Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

 Chapter 694 Fang Lang’s actions

The entire operation went very smoothly. Neither the New Journalist nor the Political Department expected that the police would suddenly launch an operation. After all, the police action was actually very hasty.

When Xinji Xiang was blocked in the warehouse by the police, it was destined that Xinji would be caught participating in the smuggling crime.

Of course, Xiang Qian would not let go. 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 City would be completely over.

As for the safety of the goods, he was not worried at all. Even if the police seized them, they would still flow out again. Therefore, he did not think about protecting the goods at all, but chose to break out immediately.

 If you want to break out of the encirclement, you will inevitably have a conflict with the police. At that time, the two sides started a fierce exchange of fire. As a result of the exchange of fire, Xiang Qian was shot dead on the spot. What's even more unfortunate is that during the exchange of fire between the two sides, a bullet hit the oil drum containing gasoline.

Even though the gasoline was mixed with water, the layer on top was also real gasoline. The sparks from the crossfire directly ignited the gasoline, which in turn ignited other materials.

 In the end, by the time the two sides ended the exchange of fire and tried to put out the fire, it was already too late. The entire warehouse was engulfed in fire and all the supplies were burned to ashes.

This made Yao Mu furious, pointing at Agui and scolding him. Because the goods were destroyed by fire, a large part of the money they could earn was reduced. Fortunately, everyone knew that the owner of the goods was Xinji, so the police asked Xinji A sweep was launched.

 I recovered some losses from Xinji’s property.

But not long after Yao Mu finished scolding Agui, a British guy from the top police force came over. Looking at the blazing fire, he glared at Yao Mu with a livid face before turning around and leaving.

Even though the other party did not teach Yao Mu a lesson, Yao Mu still looked confused. Of course, the British don't know what Yao Mu is thinking deep down in his heart.

In the eyes of the police, this operation was considered a success, and it greatly cracked down on the increasingly rampant illegal smuggling gangs.

The only thing that confused the police was that the weapon that killed Xiang Qian did not seem to be owned by the police. Instead, it looks like a sniper rifle coming from a long distance.

The fire in the warehouse did not arouse anyone's suspicion. After all, there was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, 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 to reprimand him for not following the procedures. After all, Yao Mu's actions were also carried out in accordance with the requirements of the top management.

What's more, the top police officers also had their own share of the benefits they gained from the operation, and of course no one would say much about it.

Yao Mu’s explanation for the reprimand from the superiors was very simple, but the time was tight and there was no time to report it. If the report was completed, the goods would have been shipped away.

After the Political Department learned about the entire operation, they did not have any doubts about Yao Mu. However, Agui, the guy who led the operation, was investigated by them for a long time. But in the end, after investigation and investigation, except for his intelligence source, who was from whom? From what I heard from the young and Dangerous young man's chat, there was nothing wrong with Agui's entire action.

 In the end, the Political Department could only blame Xinji’s poor confidentiality and the police discovered the clues.

 The real mastermind behind this operation has never entered the sight of the Political Department from beginning to end. Except for Yao Mu and John Zeng, no one really knows the truth of the matter.

On the other side, when the news of his hometown’s formal involvement in the Peninsular War reached Brazil, the entire Brazilian military was shocked. Because, things developed exactly as Fang Lang expected, and the peninsula became a battlefield between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Although both sides can still maintain basic restraint, in the end, who can say better! If the situation is not conducive to the north, who knows whether the Soviet Union will choose to directly participate in the war. In this case, the war will become a nuclear war!

 With this concern, everyone has a clearer understanding of Fang Lang's strategic vision. This allowed Fang Lang's influence in the Brazilian army to further expand.

 Everyone asked Fang Lang to step forward and conduct an analysis of the war situation on the peninsula. In this regard, Fang Lang directly rejected the idea without hesitation.

You must know that he comes from later generations, and he has a clear understanding of the future war situation on the peninsula. If he analyzes it by himself, he may inadvertently reveal some actions of his hometown, and then the Americans will know about it. After that, wouldn’t it be troublesome?

 So, even if he was beaten to death, he would not stand up and participate in this kind of war game.

Most of his energy is focused on Universal Group's penetration of Japan. From time to time, Universal Group's layout in Japan will be adjusted based on the intelligence sent back from Japan.

　　It is necessary to show a proactive attitude in supporting the US military, but also to control the pace. From time to time, it is also necessary to provide the Japanese Avengers with several destruction targets of its own factories, in order to quietly hinder the Americans.

Americans never thought that the Global Group, which was furious in its United Nations Command every day, would be the mastermind behind the Japanese extremist organization Avengers.

 Because, apart from the United Nations forces, the people most seriously harmed by the Avengers were the global group that supported them most actively.

What they don’t know is that Japan has unknowingly lost its original technological strength, and even the automobile engine technology that could be produced completely independently has quietly disappeared.

  Replaced by a bunch of foundry factories without core technologies. What’s even more frightening is that many Japanese experts and scholars have unknowingly silenced the ruins. Some of them left Japan, some died in burglaries, and some died in car accidents.

 In short, the biggest winner of the Peninsular War in history has unknowingly changed from Japan to a global group. Japanese technology, which was supposed to be rising rapidly, has quietly turned into a cheap labor market.

Of course, Japan's economy must have recovered quickly, because the people have indeed received real income.

At the same time, Universal Group also actively participated in the post-war reconstruction of the Southern Peninsula, not only preparing to build container terminals and container production plants in the Southern Peninsula. It also acquired potential factories that closed down due to the war in the Southern Peninsula, and proactively began to undertake the infrastructure reconstruction work in the Southern Peninsula. Among them, Global Group's advantages such as steel, shipbuilding, energy, etc., have steadily intervened in a planned manner.

Fang Lang’s goal is very simple, that 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 the further rise of Japan and South Korea.

 Knowing the history, Fang Lang would certainly not miss such an opportunity.

Because of the direct participation of his hometown in the Peninsular War, Fang Lang spent most of the time planning and holding back.

 But during the Vietnam War, Fang Lang would not stumbling upon the Americans like he did now. Although some people from my hometown also participated in the Vietnam War, they were not directly involved in the war on a large scale. Therefore, he is not prepared to lag behind the Americans like the Peninsular War.

 Because, in his mind, neither Vietnam nor the United States is a good thing. He will never miss the opportunity to beat them to pieces and drain them of their oil and water at the same time.

 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. But the importance of air superiority was further verified in this war.

 Historically, the United States also realized through the Peninsula War that it would be 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 also the reason why the U.S. 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 air force in the future. Although he is the deputy minister of the Navy, in the future he wants to control the entire Brazilian military behind his back.

 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.

 For this reason, his contacts with General Nairo Mora, the Brazilian Air Force Minister, became closer. Later, officers of the Air Force also actively participated in the war review activities organized by the Navy.

 After Fang Lang’s deliberate guidance, everyone realized the importance of the air force in war. Then, General Nairo Mora couldn't wait to ask Fang Lang to complete the finalization of the FY-1 fighter jet as soon as possible. At the same time, the idea was raised to study Brazil's own bombers.

Fang Lang is naturally happy to see this happen. After all, this is all business. As long as the Ministry of Air Force can convince the Ministry of National Defense to continue investing funds in research on bombers, Fang Lang certainly has no reason to refuse.

In fact, when he saw the design drawing that looked like a B2 stealth bomber, Fang Lang had the idea of ​​continuing research and development along this path.

Even Fang Lang, who has the memory of later generations, is very clear that after the Peninsula War, whether it was the Soviet Union or the United States, their development direction of bombers was towards supersonic strategic bombers. This was determined by the Cold War consciousness of the United States and the Soviet Union competing for hegemony.

 But now Fang Lang looks at the problem more rationally than before, and will not jump into this project on impulse. He now knows very well that judging from the situation in Brazil, these aircraft are not practical at all. First of all, the funds invested are too large. Even if they are developed by then, the number of equipment for the Brazilian army will be absolutely limited.

 And besides the United States and the Soviet Union, few countries can afford to maintain this kind of aircraft. Therefore, this is definitely a loss-making deal, unless Brazil is also prepared to become the third pole of the world in the future and engage in an arms race with the United States and the Soviet Union.

But this is obviously impossible. Fundamentally speaking, Fang Lang, like all Chinese, is not a militant person. All he wants to do is maintain peace and stability in Brazil. Protect the interests of the Fang family in Brazil, and help your hometown if you have the opportunity.

Therefore, in his current view, instead of studying such a strategic bomber that cannot pay back its investment, it is better to focus on tactical bombers with a broader market. Tactical bombers in modern society are often multi-purpose fighters.

The market prospect of this kind of fighter is much broader than that of high-altitude and high-speed strategic bombers with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Furthermore, multi-purpose fighter jets equipped with aerial bombs, precision-guided bombs, and air-to-surface 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-role fighter jets than to have several high-altitude, high-speed strategic bombers with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers.

What's more, Fang Lang, who comes from a later generation, knows very well that multi-purpose fighter jets are the future development trend. Rather than investing huge sums of money at this time to develop a bomber that may lose money, it is better to enter the market early and start researching multi-purpose fighter jets early.

 At that time, even if it is just one step ahead, Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company will be able to earn a huge profit from the world arms market.

If you want to say which multi-purpose fighter is Fang Lang's personal favorite, it must be the F14 Tomcat fighter developed by the Yankees in the 1970s. The adjustable variable sweep wing design really makes Fang Lang Fascinated by it.

Especially when it is fully swept back, its flying attitude becomes like an arrow, which is really cool.

It’s a pity that although this aircraft is extremely handsome, it is not a truly excellent multi-purpose fighter. Although it can fly at Mach 2.5, it still 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, and that was to hunt Soviet bombers.

What makes Fang Lang even more flinched is that this aircraft is too expensive. With the strength of the Brazilian Air Force, it is simply unable to equip it on a large scale. Even if the Brazilian Air Force finally equips it, the high maintenance cost will prevent the Brazilian Air Force from daring to equip it. Let him go to heaven.

 So, even if Fang Lang likes this aircraft very much, he will never develop this F14 for his own preference. At worst, he will have the opportunity to buy one from an American and play it himself.
