"The Germans have surrendered, aren't there still the Japanese?"

Fang Lang's words made Lieutenant General Chambers stunned, obviously he didn't expect Fang Lang to think of intervening in the Pacific Theater.

"As far as I know, your President Vargas is not willing to involve your Brazil in the Pacific theater, and there is no way to realize your idea."

Brazil's current president, Vargas, is a typical pragmatist, and if it weren't for the German submarine attack on Brazilian merchant ships, Brazil would not have been able to join the Allies so easily, let alone allow Brazil to participate in the Pacific theater.

In fact, after the end of the European war, the Brazilian Expeditionary Force was ordered to be stationed in Italy as an occupation force in Piacenza and Alexandria, but the Brazilian Expeditionary Force only stayed in Italy until early July and then evacuated and returned home in batches.

It can also be seen from this that Brazil is not a belligerent country, and because of this, Brazil did not receive much benefit after World War II, except for bringing back four divisions of army equipment in history.

Even because of the domestic political turmoil, he was not able to carve up many practical benefits from the post-war period, but Fang Lang did not want to give up these interests directly, he was still counting on the status of the post-war occupation army to be promoted and make a fortune!

If the Americans can help him build a naval fleet that has always been modern, then Fang Lang will basically achieve his goal.

"Your Excellency General, as long as there are enough interests, even if Mr. President is against it, there will be many people who support it!"

Chambers really didn't understand what Fang Lang said that there were many people who supported him, and said with a little doubt:

"What do you mean?"

Having a modern naval fleet is of course the most in line with the interests of the Brazilian Admiralty, so Fang Lang directly said what he thought in his heart.

"If participating in the Pacific War can give the Brazilian Navy a strong naval fleet, I think the Brazilian Navy will definitely fully support joining the Pacific Theater."

It is a pity that Vice Admiral Chambers clearly has his own considerations, or that the US government does not actually want an overly powerful modern fleet in Latin America, which is not in the interests of the United States.

"Now that the situation in the Pacific theater is very clear, there is no need for an additional naval force. So, your proposal is a bit out of place. ”

At this time, Fang Lang did not take into account the positioning and guiding ideology of the United States in Latin America. I want to make a little more effort.

"The Japanese are tenacious, aren't they! If, once the Japanese landing war starts, then it will inevitably have to pay a heavy price, and at this time every force will not be superfluous. ”

It is a pity that since Lieutenant General Chambers has his own ideas and ideas on the development of Latin America, he will definitely not be easily persuaded by Fang Lang.

"You have a lot of point, but now that the European competition is over, we have a lot of people freed up. And, I am the commander of the Fourth Fleet.

If I can't participate in the decision-making of the Pacific Theater, I will convey your wishes to General MacArthur of the Pacific Theater, and I can't be sure whether or not you will be transferred to the Pacific Theater. ”

Listening to Lieutenant General Chambers's words of evasion, Fang Lang knew that he had no way to continue to open a breakthrough from here, so he could only end the call in a huff.

The call with Lieutenant General Chambers made Fang Lang a little devastated, and the fighting passion he had just ignited was poured cold on his heart by a basin of cold water.

At first, I didn't understand why, Lieutenant General Chambers would refuse the willingness of an Allied army to take the initiative to help the United States fight the war, thinking that Chambers already knew about the eggs prepared by the United States.

However, I remembered that I began to change my attitude after proposing that Brazil have a strong naval fleet, and slowly began to come back to my senses, it seems that I have entered a misunderstanding, how can a strong rely on the charity of others!

It seems that if you want to build a strong naval fleet in Brazil, you have to rely on your own manufacturing, and your economic development ideas will have to change to a certain extent.

It turned out that Fang Lang had been thinking about the political turmoil in Brazil, and it was not suitable for large-scale investment in China now, but now his identity has a certain ability to protect himself.

I believe that no one should dare to pull teeth from their own tiger's mouth, as long as they have a piece of their own territory, they don't believe that anyone dares to show their teeth to themselves, and the coup must go around themselves.

Fang Lang, who had a decision in his heart, directly expressed his gratitude to Reinhardt, and said that he had received an order from the headquarters of the expeditionary force to rush to the port of Genoa, Italy, to stand by.

Reinhardt was obviously curious about what happened on the House, but he only reminded Fang Lang to pay attention to the Geneva Conventions, and said no more.

Fang Lang smiled and didn't explain too much, so he said goodbye to Reinhardt and led the fleet to the port of Genoa.

In fact, the Expeditionary Force Command did not order Fang Lang to go to the port of Genoa, but Fang Lang knew that Piacenza, one of the garrisons of the Expeditionary Force, was not far from Genoa.

He had ordered his father-in-law, Mr. Coburn, to buy Genoa's steel and shipbuilding industries when the Allies had just occupied Genoa, but now he had to change his mind.

Then take advantage of Genoa's position as Italy's steel and shipbuilding center and buy equipment to prepare for the construction of steel mills and shipyards in Brazil.

After a week of sailing, Fang Lang led the captured German submarine to the port of Genoa, Italy, and the reason why it took so long was that everyone was not proficient in the operation of the new submarine, and they were always familiar with it while advancing.

In the process of going to Genoa, Fang Lang had already reported to the Expeditionary Force Command, and in fact, most of the current Expeditionary Force Navy was stationed in the port of Genoa.

Because this is the closest port to Piacenza, one of the garrisons of the expeditionary force, and it is also the port where the expeditionary force withdrew from Italy, so Fang Lang's direct trip to Genoa can be regarded as an unpredictable prophet.

Receiving Fang Lang at the port was none other than Colonel Parisi, the current commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

"Fang, you're finally back. Get in the car, let's talk as we go, General Moraes is still waiting for you at the headquarters! ”

As soon as he saw Fang Lang, Colonel Parisi stepped forward directly, gave him a big hug, and before Fang Lang could say more, he directly dragged Fang Lang onto a Willis Jeep parked next to the port.

Hearing that Colonel Parisi was going to take him directly to the headquarters of the expeditionary force, Fang Lang was stunned:

"Is the headquarters in Genoa?"

Colonel Parisi said as he pushed Fang Lang into the jeep:

"Of course not! The headquarters is in Piacenza, and we are now the occupying army in Piacenza, more than 150 kilometers from Genoa! We need to hurry, or we won't be able to make it to dinner. ”

Listening to Colonel Parisi's words, Fang Lang laughed and said:

"Isn't it easy to eat? Let's find a good restaurant in Genoa, have a good meal and then set off! ”

As a result, Parisi rolled her eyes and said:

"Fang, do you think Italy will have plenty of food now? The war has just ended, order has not yet been restored, and now Italians can't even buy food, where can there be a restaurant for you to have a good meal. ”

Fang Lang was stunned, didn't his father-in-law do business here! With the current development speed of global trade in Italy, it should be able to occupy the Italian market soon!

But I don't have time to pay attention to these things yet, let's finish the work of returning the army first, and then think about the business things!

Italy at this time had just experienced war, and the traffic situation was very bad. If it is at the current speed, a distance of one hundred and fifty kilometers will be more than enough to drive for more than an hour.

However, Fang Lang traveled for nearly six hours to the headquarters of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force in Piacenza. Fang Lang was very touched that Colonel Parisi was able to drive so far to Genoa to meet him.

"Colonel Parisi, I didn't expect you to come to Genoa to meet me personally. It's so hard to travel such a long distance. Have you now been so idle in the Expeditionary Force? ”

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Colonel Parisi, who was glad that he had not been turned upside down, was almost not angry, and gave Fang Lang a roll of his eyes and said:

"What do you think! I am the commander of the expeditionary force, and of course my station is by the sea! This time, the order is for me to pick you up and report to the headquarters together. ”

Unexpectedly, such an oolong made Fang Lang's face full of emotion directly turned into embarrassment.
