Chapter 139: A New Arms Business
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Ensign Leiqi's knowledge, and smiled:
"Natal's police system is going to be completely reshuffled this time, what do you think about the selection of the police chief?"
Hearing this, Major Leech was stunned, what do you mean, is the police station also handed over to us?
Looking at Major Lei Qi's somewhat hesitant expression, Fang Lang said casually:
"My opinion is that the policing system in Natal should be managed by both you and the city government, and the chief must be appointed by the mayor. However, the second section of our logistics department must be in the police station, and at least one deputy director must be installed.
It's easy for us to manage the policing system, you know what I mean?"
"Sir, will this cause displeasure in the city government? If they have any grievances and ask him to come to me, you just have to do what I command, understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
Fang Lang's heart was very satisfied, this is right! If you accept the first order, you will begin to accept the second order, and slowly you will completely obey the leader.
"Isn't there still a deputy chief left in the police station this time? What a situation he is!"
"Sir, Chief Yusofa Bull is Mr. Speaker's man, and as he stands, he will become the new Chief of Police in order."
"It seems that our Speaker has benefited from this time! Get this Boer chief to come to my office when I get out. You must get a good grasp of selecting a suitable candidate for deputy director.
Do I need to make sure the police system is under my control?"
"Understood, sir."
"Tomorrow my people will go to the salt company and the cement factory and farm to officially take over the work, and let your people supervise their handover work and don't let people take advantage of the loopholes."
"Yes, sir!"
Just after Ensign Leitch left, Fang Lang picked up the operation report in his hand and wanted to see the specific situation of this operation, when the confidential phone on his desk rang.
Fang Lang was stunned, after all, this phone was ringing for the first time, he didn't hesitate, he picked up the phone directly, and only heard a strong male voice from inside:
"Is it Colonel Fang Lang of the First Fleet of the Navy?"
This voice Fang Lang was sure that he had never heard of it before, but the person who could call through the confidential phone must also be a person with certain authority, and hurriedly said politely:
"Hello, I'm Fang Lang, may I ask who you are?"
Hearing Fang Lang's affirmative answer, the voice inside couldn't hear any emotion:
"Hello! Colonel Fang, I'm the Minister of General Logistics, Metaru Leta, and General Dutra told me that you have an arms procurement channel, right?"
It's business coming to the door! I haven't paid the bill for the last plane yet! It seems that the God of Wealth is about to come to the door, and he must hurry up to build a bank, and all future arms purchases must be transferred from his own bank.
You have to ask the General Logistics Department to open an account in your own bank to deposit money!
"Ah! Hello! Minister Leta. Nice to meet you! That's the thing! I did mention it to General Dutra."
"That's good! It's Colonel Fang, according to the report submitted by the War Department, that now they want to create the first tank division in Brazil, and we want to go out for tenders.
I wonder if your channel is willing to participate in the offer?"
I'll go, what the hell is participating in the offer, they are not regular companies, and the arms sold are also active equipment from the army. To put it simply, it's an underground deal.
You're going to let him appear in the open, and if the U.S. intelligence agencies find out, won't they be finished?
And, isn't the bidding on the surface just a direct way to get rid of yourself and directly contact the other party? Then how can you make the difference!
However, the other party is the Minister of General Logistics, and it is not okay to refuse directly, after all, their own equipment must also be purchased by them, so they can only say:
"I'm not sure about that, I can get in touch with them. If they're willing to participate, I'll bring them over to visit you, okay?"
"Of course, no problem, then thank you
Thank you, Colonel Fang! In addition, we will also credit your account for the purchase of C46 aircraft today, please pay attention to it!"
From Minister Leta's tone, Fang Lang heard a hint of dissatisfaction. This made Fang Lang stunned, could it be that he had offended him somewhere?
I thought about it for a while before I reacted,! It seems that he did not go through the logistics department to purchase equipment privately, which is to cut off other people's financial routes!
With the Brazilian government's best environment, logistics procurement is a fat shortage.
It's a disaster! It seems that this arms channel has no chance to earn intermediary fees!
The logistics minister is not a character who can be offended, and it seems that he has to find a way to make up for the relationship between the two sides.
"Thank you so much! I'm going to Rio in two days, so I wonder if you'll have time to go out for dinner together!"
Hearing Fang Lang say that he wanted to invite him to dinner, Minister Leta's tone softened a little:
"Colonel Fang, it's so polite, you tell me the place, I will definitely be there!"
Fortunately, it seems that he still has some weight in the Brazilian army.
Minister Letta is also not good to turn his face with himself because of this emergency procurement.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Lang lit a cigar and let his brain run rapidly, the equipment of a tank division is not a small amount, is he really no chance?
After smoking a cigar, Fang Lang dialed the phone of Major Mike of the Logistics Department of the US Army and said:
"Brother Mike, now I have a business here, I don't know if you're interested."
Calling your Mike voice slightly tired:
"Oh! Colonel Fang, as long as it's business, I'm interested, tell me about it!"
"We, the Brazilian Army, want to form a tank division, and now we are ready to bid for external bidding, I don't know if Brother Mike is interested."
"A tank division? What is the structure of your tank division? How many tanks are needed? Wait, you said you wanted to put up a tender?"
"Ugh! Yes, this time it is the General Logistics Department of Brazil that is in charge, so it cannot be traded directly. Is it easy for you to operate?"
Mike on the other side was silent, and after a while, he said:
"If it needs to be in the form of a tender, I can't participate. So, I'm sorry!"
Fang Lang knew that the other party would definitely not be able to put this business on the bright side, so he had already prepared for this, so he hurriedly said:
"Brother Mike, you told me you were in the general logistics work, right?"
"That's right!"
"As far as I know, now you Americans are engaged in large-scale disarmament, and the first batch of disarmament has begun!"
"Yes, Fang, if you have anything to say, please speak directly!"
"Okay! Brother Mack, I have a suggestion for you, since you want to disarm, there must be a lot of active equipment that needs to be decommissioned.
It's okay for you to move some out in private, but you also have to take a certain amount of risk, right?
Since the equipment is going to be decommissioned on a large scale, then these equipment can't be put anywhere to rust and break! Why not just ask your superiors to sell all the old equipment directly?
That recoupes the money, doesn't it? The officials of the Ministry of Defense will definitely support this proposal, right?
Then you can sell arms directly to the outside world in an open and honest manner!"
Fang Lang followed the good path.
The other side was quiet again for a while before saying:
"Fang, this proposal of yours is very good, but it is impossible for our Ministry of Defense to directly participate in the bidding of your Brazilian army, we are not a company!"
"Haha..... Isn't that simple? Brother Mack, wouldn't it be okay for us to form a company together? We look all over the world for countries in need.
Then, you can buy the retired equipment and sell it! You're going to make a lot of money!"
"Huh! It seems like it's really possible! Maybe this proposal of yours will even promote me to the next level! But you're not afraid that I'll throw you off
Do you want to do it alone?"
Major Mack seemed to be genuinely moved.
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Of course not, if you can lobby the Ministry of Defense to agree to sell decommissioned weapons, the company you set up can buy and sell, and the company I set up can also buy and sell, right?"
"Haha....... Fang, you're amazing, all you need is for me to submit the idea, right?
But as far as I know, you have a good relationship with many of our American generals, so why didn't you propose it to them, but instead told me about it?"
"Because you're young enough! Young people have a future, don't they?"
"Haha.... Fang, we are friends. In the future, if you have any needs, please contact me directly. It's time for you to come to the U.S. and set up a company with me."
Obviously, Mike agreed to set up a company with Fang Lang to do this business.
"Tomorrow my men will visit you in your office. Can you negotiate the specific details of the cooperation?"
"Okay, then you ask him to come to me as soon as possible, and I'll draft a report now."
While Fang Lang was sitting in his office at the naval base communicating about the arms trade, the devastating earthquake was struck on the streets of Natal.
Natal's underground emperor Yakub family was completely wiped out overnight, making all the forces in Natal panic, for fear that this terrible thing would fall on their heads next.
And Mr. Mayor Dursley, the mayor of Natal, was even more numb, and he knew very well that he had only mentioned the situation of the Yakub family to Fang Lang.
As a result, the Yakubu family, which had been overwhelming themselves overnight, was directly wiped out. It all happened so suddenly.
It was so fast that Mayor Dursley didn't even react. This is a way of fighting that he can't understand at all, and everyone shouldn't fight openly and secretly with each other.
I'll make you a mix today, and tomorrow you'll put me together and grab the territory little by little?
Why didn't you play cards according to the routine at all, and directly destroyed a century-old family?
What frightened him even more was that he had only mentioned some of the Yakubu family's forces on the surface. At that time, it seemed that the other party had learned about this situation for the first time.
But in the blink of an eye, the most hidden forces of the entire Yakubu family and the family members who were not in the family were cut down.
In this way, Natal has no secret from Fang Lang!
At the thought of this, Mayor Dursley's spine couldn't help but send a chill down his spine.
Hurriedly cleaned up and got up and went out to visit the chief of the military management at the naval base.
