After Fang Lang finished chatting with his father-in-law in Genoa, he met with the heads of Global Steel and Universal Shipbuilding in Genoa. And accompanied by several people, he visited his own steel mill and shipyard.

Looking at the blast furnace of the steel mill and the slipway of the shipyard, Fang Lang couldn't help but feel agitated, he could be regarded as digging the corner of capitalism!

I can't help but feel a little proud that when I integrate the advanced technology and talents of the factories in Britain, the United States, Germany and Italy, I will definitely be able to establish my own steel and shipbuilding industry in Brazil.

With a set of containers, container ships, port machinery, and terminals, will there be a chance to be a shipping king? It's very exciting to think about.

After arranging the task of recruiting people to build a new shipyard and steel plant in Brazil, he and several people. I invited a few people to have a big meal, because my father-in-law was present. Some one-stop shows were forced to cancel.

Fang Lang, who returned to the fleet, directly contacted his father, who was far away in Brazil, and asked his father to set up a Fangyuan Group in the name of the family, and contacted the mayor of São Paulo.

Fangyuan Group intends to establish a steel plant and a shipyard in Brazil in a joint venture with Global Steel and Global Shipbuilding Company of the United States, and seek preferential and supportive policies from the government.

All enterprises in Brazil's cigarette factories, grain and oil, sugar, real estate, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fertilizers and other industries, except for the media, are under the management of Fangyuan Group.

As for why he arranged to set up another Fangyuan Group, instead of directly investing in the name of Global Group, this is a decision made by Fang Lang in combination with the historical situation in the later period of Brazil.

Until 1964, the Brazilian government was committed to the development of its national capital. Therefore, the support for domestic capital is very large, and there is a certain vigilance against foreign capital.

Between the end of World War II and the outbreak of the Cold War, Brazil was repeatedly attacked by two ideas, with domestic political turmoil, economic stagnation, and severe inflation.

In fact, it is not suitable for large-scale investment. This is why the Brazilian economy has been stagnant since 1964, when the Brazilian army began a military dictatorship.

Brazil's military began to implement the policy of ruling that the military is in charge of politics and the experts are in charge of the economy. Under the management of economic experts, the state began to absorb foreign capital on a large scale.

By transforming the original inward-looking economy into an export-oriented economy, Brazil's economy began to develop at a high speed and stepped onto the stage of a world economic power.

Of course, as a traverser, Fang Lang believes that with his involvement, there should be certain changes in history. However, at the same time, he was deeply aware of the irreversibility of the general trend of history.

As a result, he had to be cautious about his every decision. This is also the reason why he finally decided to stay in the army and develop, rather than retire directly and become a capitalist.

It's really to survive in Brazil, and the influence of the army is just too great. A country where a military coup d'état is likely to occur at every turn, and a consortium that has no ability to protect itself is a giant baby who crosses the street with a gold ingot, and can be robbed at any time.

Of course, before 1964, the military had always accomplished its goal of strengthening the country by supporting civilian politicians. However, when they found that no matter how the civil officials changed it, it was just a matter of changing the soup and not the medicine.

They completely lost their patience. Finally, under the prodding of the CIA, they directly flipped the table. began to come to the front of the stage, and carried out a military dictatorship that lasted for twenty-one years.

And this period of military dictatorship was a period of massive influx of foreign capital.

Fang Lang's establishment of Fangyuan Group and Global Group, such internal and external joint ventures, can flexibly respond to different political environments in different periods, simply put, in the period of government development of national capital, the major shareholder of the joint venture company is Fangyuan Group.

When foreign capital dominates, Global Group is the majority shareholder of the joint venture. However, no matter how it changes, it is Fang Lang's own company.

Moreover, his military background is the best umbrella of the company, as long as he still has military power in his hands, no one dares to touch him.

After explaining the company's affairs, Fang Lang finally had time to calm down and think about the task assigned by General Moraes. Regarding joining the Pacific Theater, Fang Lang himself is very active.

However, General Chambers said that he would ask MacArthur for his opinion, and Fang Lang would listen to it as a polite word. Chambers could not have consulted the Allied Commander-in-Chief in the Eastern Theater for the words of a Brazilian naval captain.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on the will of God, and if General Moraes can really come forward through the Brazilian government to achieve this goal, Fang Lang is of course happy to see it succeed.

Thinking of this, Fang Lang was no longer entangled, and directly contacted Reinhardt.

"Fang, have you returned to Italy?"

Hearing Fang Lang's news obviously made Reinhardt very happy, after all, now the two are not only comrades-in-arms, but also business partners.

"Yes, my friend, where have you been enjoying the fruits of victory lately! I've heard that French girls are very welcoming. You can't enjoy it alone. ”

Fang Lang, who rarely relaxed, also joked with Reinhardt.

Unexpectedly, Reinhardt actually began to complain.

"Hey! Don't mention it, I was taken away. ”

Reinhardt's words made Fang Lang's heart move, it wouldn't be such a coincidence!

"What do you mean? Pumped at this time? Where to go! ”

Sure enough, Reinhardt's answer was not unexpected by Fang Lang, and there was no need to think about how to lead the topic.

"Pacific Fleet, now there is only a damn little Japan left, and you can enjoy the fruits of victory with peace of mind after the fight."

Fang Lang pretended to be puzzled:

"You stayed in the Atlantic Ocean so well, why would you be asked to go to the Pacific?"

Reinhardt's answer was very straightforward, and there was no such gentlemanly demeanor as he liked to detour when he first came into contact.

"The Yankees dislike the low combat effectiveness of the Pacific Fleet, the lack of uniformity in equipment, and the high pressure on logistics and supply, and are reluctant to let us join the Pacific theater.

Therefore, the Admiralty has transferred all our American ships to the Pacific Fleet, so that the unification of equipment can be guaranteed! There's no reason to deny us access to the Pacific Theater! ”

Regarding Reinhardt's answer, Fang Lang had already counted it in his heart, so he was not surprised. Quietly led the topic to himself:

"I really envy you, and you have the opportunity to receive awards for meritorious service. I want to participate in the Pacific Theater too! There is no chance. ”

Fang Lang's words made Reinhardt's heart move, to be honest, after Reinhardt had the last experience, he had begun to slowly face up to his own ability, and he was no longer blindly arrogant.

At the same time, he was very impressed by Fang Lang's ability to command battles at sea. Not everyone can command a naval battle for the first time with such a record. couldn't help but solemnly speak:

"Are you serious?"

Reinhardt's tone made Fang Lang understand that he was interested. Fang Lang didn't hide it either, and said what he thought in his heart.

"Of course it's serious! How can I have a chance to be promoted and make a fortune if I don't fight, and I know that I am Chinese, so of course I want to fight with Little Japan. ”

Regarding Fang Lang's statement, Reinhardt believed that he was telling the truth. However, it is still reminded:

"Fang, you have to think clearly, the Japanese fight in a completely different way than the Germans. I've heard that these people are all crazy people, and there is a kamikaze team, all of them are neurotics who directly drive planes into warships. ”

Of course Fang Lang of Japan's kamikaze team has heard of this. But the Japanese are not afraid of death, can someone on the other side be afraid of death! Even if the Japanese don't attack him, he won't let the Japanese go, so he said without hesitation:

"What? Our anti-aircraft fire is not an ornament. Do you think I can't deal with little Japan? ”

Reinhardt could hear his confidence in Fang Lang's tone, and he was still in the mood to fight.

"Of course not, your command skills are obvious to all. Do you really want to participate in the Pacific Theater? ”

Reinhardt's reconfirmation made Fang Lang understand that he was really interested. He threw out his difficulties at the right time.

"There can be a fake here, I have already asked for war, but the Americans do not agree."

Since Fang Lang has already asked for battle, it must be serious, thinking about Fang Lang's magical performance on the battlefield, Reinhardt directly invited:

"If you're willing to join the Pacific Fleet, I can talk to you about it, my father and Admiral Fraser of the Pacific Fleet have a good relationship."
