Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 77 Back Road

  For Fang Lang, the family dinner at Reinhardt's house was quite rewarding, after all, he also found a partner for the company in the UK. Most importantly, if the company's cooperation is reached, the relationship between the two will be closer.

  Fang Lang, who returned to the House, directly contacted Colonel Parisi, and explained to Mr. Colonel that he would be invited to participate in receiving the surrender of German submarines, and that he might get a German U-boat as a trophy.

   "Fang, are you serious? You mean our Brazilian Navy will have a chance to get a German U-boat, which is unbelievable."

   Colonel Parisi was obviously very shocked that Fang Lang was able to obtain a German U-boat. This is a big killer! With this thing, the Germans tossed the Allies into sleepless nights.

  With the use of submarines by the Germans, the whole world has begun to pay attention to the role of submarines. At this time, Brazil did not have a submarine!

   "To be precise, I will have the opportunity to obtain a U-boat as a trophy. As for whether this U-boat belongs to the Brazilian Navy, it depends on the situation."

   This is a loot obtained by Fang Lang's own relationship, and it is not a normal battlefield capture. Fang Lang will not directly give him to the Brazilian Navy for free.

   Don't talk about selling money, at least your Brazilian government should show something! Otherwise, I don't want Reinhardt to give this gift easily. In any case, this is also a favor he owes himself.

   "Fang, I understand what you mean. I will contact General Morais immediately to see what he thinks. If you need it, I will help you find a suitable submarine crew right now."

  Colonel Parisi is also a smart man, how much contribution your Brazilian navy has made in naval battles! Why did the Allies allocate a U-boat to you as a trophy.

  Now that Fang Lang has the opportunity to be invited to participate in receiving German submarines, it can only show that Fang Lang's background in the Allied Forces is unfathomable.

   Even the commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force didn't know that the Germans were about to surrender, and Fang Lang had already learned about it in advance.

   But this is his personal relationship, and there is no reason for Fang Lang to make personal contributions to the Brazilian Navy.

  But Colonel Parisi said that he wanted to find submarine soldiers for Fang Lang, but Fang Lang was a little alert.

   "As far as I know, we don't have a submarine force in Brazil yet! Where can you find suitable candidates!"

  Parisi was indeed too excited, and did not hear Fang Lang's vigilance from Fang Lang's words.

"Although we don't have suitable submarine crews, we still have basic sailors! Commander, of course you need to solve the problem yourself, but you definitely need basic sailors! It needs to be supplemented!"

   Hearing that Parisi said that the commander and the officer should solve it by themselves, Fang Lang only slightly let go of his guard.

   "Yes, but all personnel must go through my personal interview."

  Parisi finally heard Fang Lang's precautions from Fang Lang's words that needed to be interviewed in person.

   But he was not angry, instead he laughed and said:

   "Haha Fang, don't worry! If I want to install my own personnel, I can't be so blatant. I will only find you real soldiers in the Brazilian Navy.

  You and I are good friends, only when you become stronger, no one dares to touch me easily, right? Have you ever thought about what to do after the war. Some things are not convenient for you to come forward, but you can tell me, and I will help you come forward and communicate with the higher authorities. "

   This can be regarded as Colonel Parisi really thinking about Fang Lang. Now that it has been determined that Germany is about to surrender, it is definitely time to plan ahead and start thinking about things after returning home.

   Fang Lang actually doesn't know much about Brazil's situation, nor does he know how to choose the most suitable one in his current situation.

  Since Colonel Parisi brought it up on his own initiative, it is of course necessary to listen to the suggestion of the old Brazilian navy.

   "I don't know if Colonel Parisi has any good suggestions! I don't know the situation of the Brazilian Navy, and I don't know what kind of position I can take after returning home."

   Regarding Fang Lang's sincere attitude to ask himself for advice, Colonel Parisi also knew everything.

   "Fang, we are brothers. With your record, I believe you will become a lieutenant colonel soon. If you become a lieutenant colonel, you will be qualified to form your own squadron.

   Judging from the current situation, your squadron is definitely the most effective force in the Brazilian Navy.

  Based on my knowledge of the Brazilian Navy Staff, you will most likely be transferred to the Rio base.

   After all, Rio is the capital of Brazil, and it is possible to have such a dog that has experienced actual combat.

   Moreover, the presence of a powerful naval force will undoubtedly provide a strong guarantee for Rio's security.

  I know you have a close relationship with Colonel Tichi in Rio, however, I advise you not to go to Rio. "

  Fang Lang didn't expect that Colonel Parisi would advise him not to go to Rio, and he couldn't help asking:

   "Oh! Why is this, isn't the garrison in the capital not good?"

  Colonel Parisi obviously smelled something bad in advance.

   "Because, Rio is a powder keg that could explode at any moment. I'm not sure if you'll be affected by staying in Rio."

  As a reborn person, Fang Lang knew that in October, there would be a military coup in Brazil, and President Vargas would be forced to step down. It seems that Colonel Parisi, as Mr. President's man, has already spotted some bad signs in advance.

   "What about your suggestion?"

   Unexpectedly, Fang Lang didn't ask himself why Rio was a powder keg, but directly asked for his own advice.

   This shows that Fang Lang may also know some news. However, since Parisi had decided to leave, he didn't ask Fang Lang anything, but directly gave his own suggestion.

   "Of course, stay away from the vortex of right and wrong, and find a place to be your own emperor! There are three places that are very suitable for you.

  One is Natal, which is located in the northeast corner of Brazil and is the closest to Europe and the United States.

   Moreover, there is a transit base established by the U.S. military to support the European battlefield. With the withdrawal of the U.S. military, complete infrastructure will be left behind.

  The other is my hometown of Rio Grande do Sul, which is located at the southernmost tip of Brazil and is the closest to our biggest competitor in South America, Argentina. However, the infrastructure is not perfect, and the port conditions are not suitable as a military port.

  The other one is Paranagua in the state of Parana. This place is located in the north of Rio Grande do Sul. There is a seaport in southern Brazil that is most suitable as a military port, but it has not been effectively developed.

   Of course, you can also see if there is a better place in your mind. You put forward your own ideas, and I will be responsible for helping you coordinate.

  However, I have no way to guarantee that it will be successful in the end. "

   Colonel Parisi's suggestion coincided with some of Fang Lang's ideas. However, the ports given were not in line with Fang Lang's wishes, so he directly asked the location in his mind.

   "Can't Santos Port work?"

   Parisi was obviously not surprised by Fang Lang's location. Apparently, he considered the position as well, but it was ultimately rejected.

   "It doesn't mean that it can't be done. At present, the most developed city in Brazil, apart from Rio de Janeiro, is Sao Paulo.

  If you choose to base yourself in the port of Santos, you will be too close to Sao Paulo, which is not necessarily a good thing. "

   It turns out that Colonel Parisi's scruples are here. If this is the case, Fang Lang is not worried. How can he say that he has so many investments in St. Paul.

   Moreover, it has relations with the local garrison and police. In addition, if his fleet is stationed nearby, he really wants to see who dares to touch his beard.

  “My home is in Sao Paulo, of course I hope to be stationed in Sao Paulo for a long time.

  So Colonel Parisi first helped to see if he could negotiate with the Admiralty for me to be stationed in my hometown in the future. "

  Seeing that Fang Lang had already made his own decision, Colonel Parisi would of course not say anything more. You just need to regard yourself as a middleman and convey Fang Lang's ideas.

   As for what General Morais would think about, it was not for him to express his opinion.

   His relationship with the Brazilian Navy Department has been gradually marginalized, so it is estimated that he can't do much.

   "If you insist, then I will come forward and talk to General Morais first, but this is a matter for the Admiralty after all. General Morais may be able to make suggestions, but it may not be successful."
