Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 83 Revisited

  Fang Lang expressed his thoughts without hesitation. After all, he is not a real pro-American faction, and he just wants to take advantage of Americans.

  General Morais was very satisfied with Fang Lang's answer, explaining that Fang Lang is a Brazilian citizen who truly has Brazilian nationalist feelings. This is very important.

   "Tell me, how are you going to rely on yourself!"

   Break the casserole and ask the end, isn't it good! As a general, is it appropriate for you to ask the bottom line like this? Even though he thought so in his heart, Fang Lang certainly couldn't say that.

   After all, this person is now his immediate superior. Can only answer:

   "I am going to ask my family to invest in the construction of a steel factory and a shipyard. Sooner or later, we will build a powerful navy ourselves!"

General Morais' eyes almost fell out of Fang Lang's words. In 1940, Brazil danced back and forth between Germany and the United States for a steel plant. In the end, the United States loaned 10 million US dollars to the Volta Ranch in Brazil. Construction of Brazil's first steel plant.

   also officially represented Brazil's abandonment of Germany and joining the US camp. Later, there was an incident of German submarines attacking Brazilian merchant ships.

  How long has it passed? Your family has the ability to build a steel factory and a shipyard. Why didn’t you do it earlier?

   "Are you serious? Your family has such great strength!"

   Of course Fang Lang understands the reason why money is not revealed. It is impossible for him to let Morais know that he has such financial strength.

   "Of course my family does not have such strength. However, our family has the ability to raise these funds. Of course, this requires the support of the government."

  Such a large investment cannot land in Brazil for no reason. The Brazilian government must come forward and pay some benefits.

   Otherwise, I would just foolishly build a steel factory and a shipyard in Brazil, not to mention whether the local government or local tyrants would lie on my body to **** blood and become a victim.

  Just by solving local employment, you can enjoy a series of benefits such as land fee concessions, tax reductions and exemptions from the landing government.

   Morais never thought that there would be such a harvest today. He looked at Fang Lang seriously and said:

"Fang, I will personally report this matter to Mr. President. I understand your thoughts! Don't worry, if you can really make this project land in Brazil. Then, I assure you, I will fully support it on behalf of the military you!"

   Regarding General Morais's statement, Fang Lang understood very well that this represented the military's full support for him, and it certainly did not only refer to supporting his own factory construction, but also his position in the army.

  This statement is really important to Fang Lang. Because General Morais' status in the Brazilian military is very special. Although he is only a major general, he is also a Brazilian field marshal.

  According to the Chinese, it is the old disciples who spread all over the government and the public. With his support, at least in the next few coups in Brazil, Fang Lang no longer needs to worry about the safety of his family and the factory.

   "Thank you for your support, Your Excellency General. If you agree, I will explain my thoughts to my family tomorrow. I believe I will get a clear answer soon!"

  General Morais was very satisfied with Fang Lang's statement, and couldn't help but slapped his thigh and said:

   "Good! Good! Good! If this thing is done, then I believe that no one will dare to express any objection to you for taking such an important position at such a young age!"

  Fang Lang was taken aback by General Morais' words, but it's normal to think about it, in a dictatorial country like Brazil, a society with a slightly feudal hierarchy.

   Fang Lang, a young minority with no family background, can quickly rise to today's status, how could there be no opponents!

   No wonder Colonel Parisi said that he will obtain the rank of colonel. But when I arrived at the headquarters today, I didn't receive a promotion order. It turned out that there was still resistance!

  In this way, building steel plants and shipyards in Brazil is no longer a purely economic issue! It must be raised to a political issue.

   Fang Lang, who already had a calculation in his heart, remained calm and did not respond to General Morais' words.

  General Morais, who had finished feeling, spoke again:

   "Hey! If this is the case, our plan to build a powerful navy will be postponed!"

  Looking at the slumped General Morais, Fang Lang could only sigh. After all, his grand wish of stepping on Mount Fuji with horses failed to come true!

   Colonel Parisi, who had been standing beside him like a transparent person, suddenly said:

   "Fang, is the plan to participate in the Pacific battlefield also unworkable?"

  General Morais was taken aback by Colonel Parisi's words, and while he was still thinking about what the plan was, Fang Lang had already spoken.

   "I proposed this idea to General Chambers. However, it was rejected! After all, the US military has now gained an absolute advantage in the Pacific battlefield. Moreover, the fleet in the Atlantic Ocean is also sufficient to support the Pacific battlefield."

   "Wait, what is this Pacific battlefield plan you two are talking about? Why don't I know."

  General Morais was obviously taken aback by what the two said, and was also aroused by his curiosity.

  Fang Lang and Colonel Parisi exchanged glances, and Fang Lang motioned to Colonel Parisi, after all, this was his idea.

  However, Colonel Parisi obviously didn't want to show off the limelight. After all, he was the one who had already decided to leave. It's better to let Fang Lang increase some political capital. So, after shaking his head, Fang Lang signaled.

  Seeing the two people pushing back and forth, General Morais became impatient, and said to Fang Lang:

   "Fang, tell me, what is the plan!"

  Since Colonel Parisi was unwilling to say, and General Morais ordered his general again, Fang Lang could only say:

   "This is Colonel Parisi's idea. He hopes to obtain the support of the US Navy for our naval fleet construction by actively applying to join the Pacific battlefield. However, Lieutenant General Chambers rejected it on the grounds that the Pacific Theater is not under his management."

  Fang Lang's words made General Morais fall into silence, and he said after a while:

   "As far as I know, the British Navy established the Pacific Fleet in November last year. It wanted to participate in the Pacific War, but was rejected by the US Navy. But now the British Pacific Fleet is also active in the Pacific battlefield! Why can't we join?"

  Fang Lang and Colonel Parisi stared blankly at Lieutenant General Morais, thinking:

  The British and the Americans are brothers, and the British Pacific Fleet has the support of many British Dominions. Although it is not as powerful as the US Pacific Fleet, it is not as powerful as our two broken ships in Brazil!

   There is no need for Fang Lang and the two to speak their minds, General Morais has already asked himself and answered:

   "The Pacific Fleet of the British is strong enough. Alas! In the final analysis, our Brazil is not strong enough, and no one wants to take the initiative to help others."

  No one dares to answer such words! The two could only look at General Morais with a little embarrassment.

   "Fang, why do you think the British must join the Pacific battlefield?"

  Fang Lang was a little caught off guard by General Morais' sudden mention, but he was still a college student anyway, and the analysis of this simple problem was not yet pediatrics.

   After thinking about it for a while, Fang Lang said:

   "I think there should be at least two reasons: one is to restore the dominance of the Southeast Asian colonies occupied by the Japanese; the other is to hope to gain more voice in post-war Asian issues."

  Fang Lang's answer made General Morais' eyes shine. He didn't expect Fang Lang to be able to see it so thoroughly, and Fang Lang couldn't help but appreciate it even more.

   Colonel Parisi on the side was a little stunned. Isn't this knowledge that diplomats should master! Why you all know, just me being a fool.

  Brazilian schools don’t teach politics, let alone a 5,000-year-old civilization like China. Although, it is painful to learn. However, knowledge is so fragrant!

  General Morais didn't know if he was really inspired by Fang Lang's words, so he started to say:

   "The right to speak, the right to speak, this word is used well."

   Then he stood up directly and started walking back and forth in the office. After a while, he said:

   "Fang, you said that Brazil participated in the World War. As a victorious country, do we also have some right to speak!"

Is not this nonsensical! If there is no benefit, will President Vargas choose to join the Allies and send troops to the European battlefield? Could it be that it was really just for a few sunk merchant ships, don't be stupid.

  Fang Lang had to answer General Morais' question:

   "General Yes, we are also a member of the Confederate States. Of course we have the right to speak."

  Hearing Fang Lang's affirmative answer, General Morais said leisurely:

   "Then can't we ask to provide us with a powerful naval fleet?"

   This is not easy to answer, this is not something that the army can decide on its own! Usually, this kind of thing is discussed by the head of government and the diplomatic department, and the army will make the decision in that round.

   Moreover, the powerful navy obtained in this way cannot be regarded as truly powerful. It must have continuous production capacity to be considered strong.

"Maybe, we should ask the government to come forward and talk to the Americans. Although the contribution of our navy in the European war is only your four sinking records, the contribution of our army and air force is not small. It is not too much to ask for an aircraft carrier fleet. !"
