Chapter 125: News
Looking at Major Mike's confident expression, Fang Lang knew that he was not joking, and thought about it and said tentatively:
"Aircraft carriers?"
I thought that Major Mack would directly say that he could not do anything.
Who knew that Major Mike shook his head directly and said:
"This won't work, and you won't be able to use it if you get it."
Are you sure you're just a major, is this the confidence that a major should have? It's not that you can't get an aircraft carrier, but you can't use it if you get it.
But since Major Mack has such confidence, what else is there to say.
"Can you get B29?"
Major Mack said calmly:
"How much do you want?"
This time it was Fang Lang's turn to be a little numb. Look, that means you can get it!
"I don't know what the unit price is."
"There are many models of the B29 now, and the price is different, and the unit price of a bomber that has been in service for a longer time cannot be as low as 300,000 US dollars. The latest reconnaissance aircraft model costs $700,000 each. β
Hearing this price, Fang Lang couldn't help but gasp, although Fang Lang knew that this was the latest American strategic bomber, and the price was definitely not cheap.
However, this offer still scared Fang Lang, and he shook his head again and again and secretly said that he couldn't afford it, so let's talk about C46 first!
"Does C46 have to be at least 12,000?"
"I never quote randomly, so be it! I believe that we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, and I will send you five more C46 equipped Pratt & Whitney R-2800-51 models, five double-row cylinder, star-type air-cooled piston engines.
Let you do stock parts. In addition, you will be assigned 10 flight instructors who will stay here and teach your 10 pilots how to fly the C46. β
Fang Lang was no longer entangled, and directly stretched out his right hand.
"Happy working together!"
Mike finally let out a smile.
"Happy working together!"
......................................
"Hello! This is Global Trading S.A. Brazil, how can I help you? β
Fang Lang listened to the sweet goddess from the phone receiver, and couldn't help but leak a satisfied smile, it seems that the Brazilian branch is developing well!
"I'm looking for manager Radia Redondo, and you tell him that my name is Fang Lang."
Radia Redondo, head of Global Trade Brazil, is a tall, thin man of Italian descent.
Fang Lang didn't have much contact with him, but Redondo knew very well who the boss of Global Trade was.
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Sure enough, soon Redondo's slightly excited voice came from the earpiece:
"Hello! Is it Mr. Fang? I'm Radia Redondo. β
For the employees of his own company, Fang Lang did not say any polite words, but gave his own order:
"That's right, I'm Fang Lang, is it convenient for you to speak now?"
Listening to the voice coming from the earpiece, although it was a little distorted, Redondo could still hear who the owner of the voice was.
"Wait a minute!"
Soon, Redondo's voice came from the earpiece:
"Mr. Fang, it's convenient now, please speak!"
"I need you to find a way to spread a message to a specific group of people, and you have to do it secretly, so that people can't find out about us, can you do it?"
"Is it just a matter of spreading the word? No problem. β
"Very good, you listen well.........."
Although the news Fang Lang said on the phone was a little inexplicable, Redondo still listened to Fang Lang's words very patiently, and repeatedly asked about what he was not sure about.
"Hurry up, you only have three days, understand?"
"Mr. Fang, I understand! Arrange it right away. β
Fang Lang hung up the phone, picked up the cigar next to him, and took a deep breath.
In the smoke, Fang Lang's eyes were a little erratic, making it difficult to figure out.
Soon, news began to circulate among the Japanese in Brazil, and the winners' and losers' groups of the entire Minister's League were even more noisy.
"You fools, don't you swear that the British and American ghosts have won? You see, the current president of Brazil wants to surrender to the great empire. β
"This news is absolutely false, the war is over, Japan has surrendered. How could President Vargas surrender to the Axis powers at this time. β
"The great empire will never be defeated, and you surrenderers should all die."
"This news is definitely a conspiracy, please stay calm, we have to analyze why the empire has been defeated and surrendered, and there is such news."
"You fools, bastards, are you still believing the news that Japan has been defeated? This news is only further proof of the invincible power of the Empire. β
"If the empire wins, I can understand that President Vargas wants to surrender. But why does the news say that the Brazilian military will refuse to surrender!
He even wanted to stage a military coup d'Γ©tat, refusing to accept surrender. This doesn't make sense at all, the empire has won, and the whole country should unanimously agree to surrender! β
"These military personnel who refuse to surrender are obviously trained by the British and American ghost animals, and they must be on the side of the British and American ghost animals! Call you stupid, and you don't even want to admit it. What a bastard! β
"If you think the Empire has won, then why did the Brazilian expeditionary force return home victorious? You're some die-hard bastards. β
"How do you know that they returned home victorious, not defeated and fled! Do you believe everything they say? This is the war propaganda of the obvious Anglo-American ghosts, you idiots. β
The two sides are arguing over each other, and the upper bracket is clearly more willing to believe that the news is true.
The losers' group wants to dissuade everyone from calming down and suspecting that there is some ulterior conspiracy in this matter.
But no one could convince anyone.
Soon everyone parted ways, and the like-minded winners once again organized separate gatherings to celebrate the great victory of the Empire.
And there are some people in the loser group who are starting to become wobbly, not sure if they are really misled by the propaganda.
After two days of fermentation, almost all of Brazilian-Japanese people knew about it.
It even reached the ears of other Brazilians, most of whom scoffed at the news that the Japanese called President Vargas was ready to surrender to Japan.
The paranoia that I thought it was a Japanese Brazilian began to attack again.
This has made many Brazilian people start to think that these Japanese people are simply unreasonable.
Some Brazilian intellectuals and politicians, however, see a different meaning in this news.
The recent political situation has been so turbulent that President Vargas's interference in the elections has become more and more blatant.
The opposition has grown louder.
Could there really be a military coup brewing under this seemingly calm lake?
Some Labour MPs received the news and reported it to President Vargas.
"You mean, these Japanese think I'm going to surrender to Japan?"
"Your Excellency, we all know that the war is over. It is impossible for us to surrender to a country that has already surrendered.
However, the news that the army may launch a coup d'Γ©tat mentioned in this news needs to be taken seriously. β
"As the parties to this news, we can see at a glance that this is fake news, and we don't need to be nervous at all.
My rights are granted by the Constitution. The army is all my hand, how can I launch a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow me.
These are all conspiracy by the SPD and the NLD to drive a wedge between us and the army, and they need not be taken seriously. β
Although, this news may not be true. However, I think it's better to be cautious. β
"What you say makes sense, then order Rio Police Chief Amycus Lechner to monitor the military's movements!"
Similarly, the Brazilian military, which is the other party to this news, and General Dutra to be precise, of course, also received the news.
When he first heard the news, he also thought it was funny, but then his cold sweat flowed.
The Japanese predicted that he was going to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, and although the reasons were very ridiculous, the result was the same way.
This annoyed him so much that he couldn't help but start to speed up the pace of deployment.
The winners' bracket, of Japanese Brazilians, finally came up with a resolution after two days of deliberations.
That is to fully support President Vargas's surrender to Japan.
As a Japanese, even if you are far away, you have to take on the responsibility of being a subject of the empire.
In order to thwart the military coup d'Γ©tat in which the Brazilian military opposes surrender, the Japanese diaspora should take the initiative to protect President Vargas's safety.
To this end, the Japanese victorious group began to organize all the personnel, and all of them carried weapons, shouting slogans to protect the safety of President Vargas, and gathered in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil.
This made Lechner, the chief of police in Rio de Janeiro, who had just been monitored by the military, very annoyed.
A large number of police forces had to be deployed in the capital for this order.
Before I knew it, on October 29, more than 40,000 Japanese gunmen had gathered in Rio, and most of the Japanese men had basically joined in.
Among them, there are also some fanatical Japanese women mixed in.
Regardless of how the police in Rio tried to drive them, the Japanese gunmen were unmoved and confronted the police, and there were many exchanges of fire.
Because, they suspect that the police and the military are in a gang, and the so-called protection of the presidential palace is actually to put the president under house arrest and prevent the president from surrendering to Japan according to his own ideas.
At the same time, Fang Lang, who was far away in Natal, was communicating with Colonel Titch via encrypted phone.
"Brother Tich, in order to support General Dutra, I have returned to Natal, and my five hundred marines are ready to fight."
"Haha....... Fang, Natal is a small city, and it won't have much impact on the overall situation of Rio! You can rest assured that you can wait for the good news of our victory. β
"Of course I know that Natal is insignificant, but with five hundred of me on board, I will definitely provide some support for your operations, right?"
"Oh! How do you want to support us? You're far away in Natal! By the time your warship arrives in Rio, the dust has already settled. β
