In Fang Lang's impression, Osaka is actually the base camp of the Sumitomo chaebol, and the Sumitomo chaebol started with metal smelting.

The most important feature of the Sumitomo Zaibatsu during World War II was that it was the center of the chemical industry first, and there was no commercial sector in the second.

The investment is all concentrated in the metal industry, machinery industry, chemical industry, mining and other fields.

The total capital was up to 10 billion yen, which was equivalent to about 2 billion US dollars at the exchange rate of the US dollar at the time.

However, with the massive bombing by the US military, these factories all suffered a devastating blow.

Just two days after Fang Lang landed in Osaka, Fang Lang also heard that the Sumitomo Foundation had closed all factories, leaving only the vehicle factory in Osaka and the pipe factory in Amagasaki.

and cut the number of employees from 100,000 to 5,000.

Could it be that Colonel Marik wants to empty their vehicle factory, but as far as Fang Lang knows, Sumitomo does not have a big car brand in the future.

On the other hand, Kubota, a well-known manufacturer of heavy equipment such as tractors and construction machinery. Could it be this factory?

But this factory is still nowhere to be seen! It is estimated that there is no technical reserve in this area.

Thinking that it was better to break my head here, it was better to ask Marik directly, so he said directly:

"Oh! I don't know what kind of equipment is mothballed? Being dragged away by me won't do anything to you! ”

"All we have sealed must be military factories! I don't know if the brother is interested. ”

Malik's answer was beyond Fang Lang's expectations, not that Fang Lang had not thought about developing a military factory, after all, Brazil in later generations was originally a world-famous arms sales power.

Although it is not a high-end weaponry.

However, Fang Lang is a little wavering about entering the military industry. Because, he is a little worried that it will be nationalized.

However, now that he has been sold to the door, Fang Lang wants to hear what kind of factory equipment it is, even if he wants to satisfy his curiosity.

"Are there any preserved military factories in Osaka? I don't know exactly what kind of equipment is produced. ”

Malik smiled and didn't hide it.

"Fang, haven't you heard of the first artillery factory in Japan, which was the Osaka Artillery Factory established in 1870?"

Could it be that such a large artillery factory can still be preserved under the bombing of the US military, this makes no sense!

The equipment for making artillery is all big guys, and when he moves back to Brazil, he will be directly accepted by the government, he is playing a fart! Fang Lang really wasn't much interested.

The most important thing is that the equipment of such a factory will definitely not be pulled away directly!

Obviously, this is a business, since it is a business, then it has to be counted as money, such a large artillery factory, without millions of millions, can not be built.

Even if it's second-hand, can you ask for a few million later?

It's not that you can't afford it, but after you transport it back, you only have equipment, no technology, and even no technicians to teach you how to produce.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was unnecessary, so he said in a slightly joking tone:

"Didn't you blow up such a large artillery factory when you bombed it?"

Malik sneered:

"Of course, there is no artillery factory left, but these dwarfs secretly built an underground arsenal nearby, and transferred some important machine tools and equipment to it, which we only found out after we took over."

Fang Lang didn't expect that there was also an underground arsenal in Osaka, looking at Marik's expression was obviously not fake, but maybe the production capacity was enough.

But think about it, it is also normal that Japan in World War II had the ability to produce the largest caliber 410 mm caliber artillery, but I don't know how much production capacity this so-called underground arsenal has.

With the idea of listening to the truth, Fang Lang continued to speak:

"You mean, you want to dispose of a factory with artillery production capacity to me?"

Malik began to feel a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Fang, originally! This plant can produce artillery guns of up to 240 mm caliber. After the bombing, the equipment of this underground plant was no problem in making shells.

However, according to our engineers, it is now possible to produce at most artillery and mortars of a caliber of less than 150 mm. ”

Originally, seeing Marik's expression, Fang Lang thought that he had no artillery production capacity, but it turned out that he could still produce artillery with a caliber of less than one hundred and fifty millimeters.

Now it's Fang Lang's turn to start struggling, this equipment is of course very attractive to Brazil, but Fang Lang himself is a little hesitant, if he really takes over this batch of equipment.

It's a hot potato, but, looking at Marik's expectant expression, Fang Lang thought about it again and again and said:

"Brother, to be honest, these equipment are a bit hot for me, and now our military industry in Brazil has not yet started, and if I ship it back and no one takes over, it may be smashed in my hands."

Malik's anticipation was directly poured into his heart, obviously not expecting that he would not be able to sell the good things in his hands.

It's hard to find such a customer, and if you don't find a buyer while you can call the shots, then the government will take over and it will be none of your business.

Therefore, Malik is unwilling to give up Fang Lang, the only customer, after all, there is no one else who can move freely in Japan at this time except for the occupation army.

In addition to the American GIs, only the Brazilian Expeditionary Force is left in the whole of Osaka, and it seems that there is no way to dispose of this equipment except to sell it to Brazil.

"Fang, we are brothers, I'll tell you the truth! I didn't report the discovery of this factory. If I can't find a buyer to dispose of it by the end of September, I will have to report it.

At that time, the right to dispose of the equipment will have nothing to do with me. Therefore, my quotation for the equipment of this factory is very low, 100,000 dollars, all the equipment, technical data are all packaged. ”

This price really directly penetrated the bottom line in Fang Lang's heart, 100,000 US dollars, even if it is selling scrap iron, it is more than this price!

And there is a full set of technical information, as long as the technical personnel of this factory are organized, isn't it possible to start production directly?

The most important thing is that the person in front of him is the current Emperor of Osaka, if he lets him earn this money, then the relationship between the two will directly break through to the extent that they are dirty together.

This is one of the four irons of life! Even if you can't use it after transporting it back, you have to take it down!

As long as you have this relationship, all your actions in Osaka will become unimpeded.

What's more, my harvest in Osaka this time will be an astronomical amount, and I definitely can't let the other party know.

However, since he wants to take the biggest cake, there is no reason not to let the host's family have a chance to eat soup!

Thinking of this, Fang Lang said directly:

"Since that's the case, then I have to help with this favor. Rest assured, brother, you are responsible for packing all the technical data and workers! I came to find a buyer.

If no one takes over, I'll let our own factory eat it. Don't let your brother waste all his work and be busy. ”

Fang Lang is still selling well when he gets cheap, obviously he has made a lot of money, and he looks like he is trying to help his brother, and he gnaws it hard.

However, Malik doesn't know Fang Lang's family background! thought that Fang Lang was a big-headed soldier like himself, although he said that everyone would take over and eat it in his own factory.

However, Brazil, a backward country, how big can the so-called factory of its own be?

With such a statement, Fang Lang is simply "timely rain" and "Sai Mengwei" in the eyes of Colonel Malik. Of course, he certainly hadn't heard of either nickname.

Malik didn't say a word, he got up directly and gave Fang Langlai a big hug.

Excited, his voice trembled a little:

"Fang, good brother, thank you so much! I'm going to go back now and organize these Japanese dwarfs to pack up all the equipment and technical data. You don't have to worry about workers, I'll lock them up, when you want them, when you come and pick them up. ”

After that, you have to go straight out.

It seems that I have completely forgotten the purpose of my special trip.

Fang Lang hurriedly took the initiative to stop Colonel Marik and said:

"Hey..... Dude, didn't you come and ask me why I drove the Japanese? ”

As a result, Colonel Malik said indifferently:

"When will it be the turn of these Japanese dwarfs to make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of our occupation army, and then they will all be arrested as rebels."

Obviously, this is after the transaction between the two of them, and the friendship between the two is no longer the same.

Fang Lang couldn't let Marik leave directly, because if Marik didn't ask Fang Lang, it didn't mean that he didn't have any doubts, if he didn't give him a reason to say the past.

Sooner or later, he will have questions and want to know the answers, which is human curiosity and cannot be avoided.

Therefore, Fang Lang must give him a reason to say the past.

"Colonel Malik, it's a shame to say this. So, I didn't report it.

However, since you have come to ask, it is my duty to explain to you the reason for this, as allies. Please follow me! ”

Since, recalling the rank of Colonel Malik, then it means that it is a business matter.

Colonel Malik also knew very well, so he also stopped, followed Fang Lang across the playground, and came to the room located in the corner of the playground.

The guards pushed open the door, and Colonel Malik saw a coffin in the center of the room, along with a photograph on it.

I only heard Fang Lang pointing to this coffin and said:

"Three days ago, one of my platoon commanders was killed in an attack while on patrol. However, the killer was not caught. Therefore, the reaction of his brothers was somewhat violent. ”

"What! Did such a thing happen and we need to intervene in the investigation? ”

When Marik saw the situation in front of him, his doubts disappeared. However, I also found a reason to convince myself.

Since Fang Lang did not report it, he obviously wanted to deal with it himself, but as the supreme commander, Malik must also ask whether the US military needs to intervene in the investigation.

"Colonel Marik, this is a matter between our Brazilian Expeditionary Force and the Japanese dwarfs, and I hope to leave it to us to solve on our own."

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Colonel Marik didn't say much, just patted Fang Lang's shoulder with his hand, nodded, and turned around and left directly.
