Chapter 30 Chief of Police
Listening to his brother Fang Lang's request to the newspaper, Fang Tao was stunned and said, "Brother, will it be too early for you to tell me this." We don't even have a shadow of a newspaper now! ”
"This is your first task, these days to seize the time to find out, whether there is a newspaper in São Paulo that has any intention of selling, if not, we have to consider building a new newspaper by ourselves, then you also have to think about how to recruit the staff of the newspaper." Fang Lang casually arranged the task, after all, this task was not imminent, and it didn't matter if he could wait.
"Okay, okay, don't pester your brother, it's by boat or plane, I haven't rested, it's getting dark, hurry up and let your brother rest, there's something to say tomorrow." In the end, it was the mother who felt the most sorry for her son, and nothing was as important as her son's health.
When everyone heard her mother Yang Xiu'er's words, they also spoke one after another, asking Fang Lang to rest early, and talk about what to do tomorrow.
Fang Lang slept very well this night, and I don't know if it was because he returned to his real home, or because he was tired enough to toss along the way. Fang Lang slept soundly, but the others slept not so steadily, almost all the people who participated in today's rally couldn't sleep after returning home, even Fang Lang's father couldn't sleep for a long time.
Now the change of his son makes him dare not admit it, the son who used to be impulsive and reckless, and likes to do things more with his hands than with his brain, has become a mature man who knows the international trend well and has goals, methods and ways to do things, which makes Fang Xinshan, as a father, both happy and distressed. I don't know how much my son has suffered outside in the past two years to have such a life perception and such a big change.
What Fang Lang didn't know was that Captain Blackwell, who sent him home, did not return to the barracks after leaving his home, but drove directly to the São Paulo City Police Station and found the police chief.
"Haha..... Captain Blackwell, come in, why are you so free to sit with me today! Director Sebastio Hodges stood up with a smile on his face and greeted.
Sebastio Hodges is the chief of the São Paulo police station, a white Portuguese man, who appears very short among whites, less than 1.7 meters tall, with a slightly bulging belly, which looks very incongruous.
"Good afternoon, Director Hodges, it's true that I've come here today on some business, and I want to communicate with you." Captain Blackwell was also smiling, and it was clear that the two were very familiar with each other. After all, it was the garrison chief and the police chief, both the heads of the armed forces of São Paulo.
"Oh! If you need anything, my brother will run it in person, and it will be done with a phone call. Come, come, come. Sit here. Come on, pour two cups of coffee! Director Hodges graciously invited Captain Blackwell to sit in the reception area, and turned to the secretary outside the door.
"This time I received an order from my superiors to go to the airport to pick up a combat hero of the expeditionary force to go home, and I received clear instructions from my superiors to ensure the safety of this lieutenant during his stay in São Paulo, and if anyone behaves unkindly towards our comrades, our garrison will be authorized to take all necessary means to eliminate potential safety hazards." Captain Blackwell's face was serious, and he stared at Director Hodges with burning eyes.
And Director Hodges heard Captain Blackwell's words, and saw him staring at himself, he was a little furious when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Brother, is there any misunderstanding!" The lieutenant you are talking about should have no conflict with me! Why are you staring at me like that? ”
"Although this lieutenant does not have any direct conflict with you, as far as I know, his compatriots have been targeted and bullied by another group of people some time ago, and your police department has not taken any measures to protect their interests! I'm here today to remind you that I don't care what benefits your police department has received, if this happens again, you may have to face an investigation by our army and navy military police, and believe me that you can't afford it. Captain Blackwell was still unhurried to say something that made Director Hodges fall into an ice cave.
"Brother, we're good brothers! I also ask my brother to make it clear what the name of this lieutenant is, and if there is such a thing as you said, I will come to the door early tomorrow morning to make amends. No matter who you say about them, even if it's Satan, I'm going to make him pay a terrible price. Director Hodges gritted his teeth.
"This lieutenant is now a popular man in front of Colonel Attilio Parisi of the Expeditionary Force, and he is also a close friend of Colonel Tichy of the Rio Naval Base, and I have even heard that he has a very good relationship with the American generals. That's why my superiors are so tough, I'm sure you can understand what I mean, right? Captain Blackwell continued little by little, telling the information he knew about Fang Lang.
When Director Hodges heard that a small lieutenant had a close relationship with so many military bigwigs, and also had a relationship with American generals, didn't that mean that as long as Mr. Lieutenant was willing, he could even directly reflect his dissatisfaction to President Vargas. If Mr. President knows that there are Brazilian combat heroes who have been wronged under his rule, then he will not have to consider whether he can sit firmly under his buttocks, but whether he can keep his head.
"Brother, please tell me the name of this lieutenant gentleman, I want to visit him early tomorrow morning, I don't know if it is convenient. As for what you said about being targeted and bullied against his fellow man, please tell me now, and I will at once send for these damned bastards to be arrested and hanged in front of Mr. Lieutenant to atone for what they have done. Director Hodges said loudly, don't think that as a police chief, it is very unreasonable to hang a criminal suspect who has not been tried at every turn, Brazil in this era is in a society that is slightly equal to dictatorship, and the power of the police chief is greater than you can imagine.
"Director Hodges, the two of us are old friends, that's why I came here today to tell you this, in fact, the order I received was to let me directly level this gang. But, after all, this is your territory, and I don't want to make it difficult for you, and if you can do it neatly, then, tomorrow morning, I will come and take you with me to visit this lieutenant. If you're procrastinating, I'll clean up the garbage and then report back to my superiors on your performance. Do you understand what I mean? Captain Blackwell's tone improved slightly.
"Captain Blackwell, rest assured, by six o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest, I will definitely let you see my attitude, please tell me who these bastards are!" Director Hodges has already stood up, his eyes are full of fierceness, as Brazil's top three large cities, the police chief of São Paulo, no matter how corrupt, must be capable. This kind of person initiates ruthlessness, and someone must pay the price of his life.
"Then Mr. Director, I will wait for your good news, our full name of Mr. Lieutenant is Fang Lang, and he is a Brazilian Chinese. And who is the person who targeted and bullied his compatriots, do you need me to explain! Captain Blackwell finally said Fang Lang's name, and he believed that as the police chief, if he didn't know who the bad guy he was talking about was now, then he, the police chief, would not have to do it.
Finally got the name of Mr. Lieutenant from the mouth of Captain Blackwell. Director Hodges naturally knew right away who the captain was talking about targeting and insulting the Chinese.
Although São Paulo has been humiliated by many races and nationalities because of the small proportion of the Chinese population, the most serious group of people targeting the Chinese recently are definitely the Japanese who come from Asia like the Chinese, and perhaps this group of people feels that their motherland has become a powerful empire capable of occupying the whole of Asia and challenging the United States.
And the population of São Paulo has an absolute advantage compared to the Chinese, so some time ago, before Brazil joined the Central Powers, it has been dancing very happily. And as far as Director Hodges knows, the current Japanese have established a yakuza organization in Brazil that belongs to the local branch of Japan ~ Black Dragon Society.
Although the group has regularly confessed to itself, it is now up to them to make sacrifices to reverse the military's dissatisfaction with him. He doesn't have to worry about any tricks at all when he kills these little Japan, even if there is a public protest, he can directly wipe out this so-called gangster organization in the name of espionage, Mr. Lieutenant is simply giving himself credit! I will definitely thank him tomorrow.
