Fang Lang was also very happy about General Moraes's appreciation, after all, the supreme commander of the army appreciated himself, and his future was not too easy.

"Recently, the Admiralty has indeed been striving to have its own aircraft carrier fleet, but it has not yet been approved at the meeting, and the purchase of aircraft carriers is not a small amount.

It needs to be carefully considered. After all, now that the war is over, there is not much military pressure around, and it will not be very good if we over-expand our armaments at this time."

For General Moraes to say that there is not much military pressure around Brazil, Fang Lang is very recognizable, after all, this is indeed the truth.

The whole of America is now under the hegemony of the United States, and there is really no military pressure other than the pressure that the United States will put on them.

However, in Fang Lang's impression, Brazil still attaches more importance to the navy, after all, Brazil was originally a colony of Portugal, and Portugal was once a naval power.

At present, most of the big farmers and big capitalists in Brazil are of Portuguese origin, so it is necessary to pay attention to the construction of the navy according to tradition.

In addition, the current Brazilian government is actually very rich, because during World War II, Brazil's iron ore and other basic natural resources were continuously transported to the United States.

In exchange for a large amount of dollar reserves, with Fang Lang's knowledge of history, these reserves will sooner or later be exchanged for Brazilian military equipment.

After all, the new president is a soldier, and this background determines that his eyes will always pay more attention to the development and construction of the army.

Once you pay attention, you will notice the difference between yourself and the good countries, and inevitably, you will invest a lot in army building.

This is inevitable, of course, Fang Lang is also happy to see it, otherwise who will his arms company sell to!

Now Fang Lang's biggest concern is which country will Brazil buy aircraft carriers from, and it will not buy from Britain according to the inertia of history!

In that case, the Shata company in the United States will lose a big order!

"Your Excellency, has the Admiralty found a suitable target now? I mean, I want to buy that country, that type of aircraft carrier."

"Definitely not! Even the plan has not yet been adopted.

However, I think it will be a matter of time before it passes, don't you yourself have a relationship with the United States and Britain?

If you can convince the United States and Britain to agree to sell us a new type of aircraft carrier, I don't think there is any reason why the Ministry of Defense will give up the opportunity."

I don't know why, Fang Lang smelled a familiar taste, as if he had eaten the same recipe somewhere!

Soon Fang Lang reacted. Depend on! The old guy in front of him doesn't talk about martial arts! Let's come back to this set.

But this time, Fang Lang didn't refuse after thinking about it, after all, this time it's business, it can still be his own business, and he has no reason to refuse.

As long as it can be determined that the aircraft carrier can be used by him, the state will pay for the purchase of the aircraft carrier from its own company for its own use.

No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal!

"Is Your Excellency General serious? If you can promise that the aircraft carrier will be equipped with our First Fleet when it returns home, then I am willing to use my connections to lobby the US government to agree to sell aircraft carriers to us."

General Moraes was obviously stunned after hearing Fang Lang's statement, he knew that Fang Lang had a relationship with the US Navy, otherwise the original transport ship would not have been directly arranged for him by the Americans, including the same situation with the captain of the destroyer behind.

He also knew that Fang Lang had a cooperative relationship with Shata, an American arms trading company. However, I didn't expect Fang Lang to dare to come forward and lobby the US government to sell aircraft carriers to Brazil.

It seems that Fang Lang's relationship in the United States is even deeper than he remembered!

In fact, this is also what General Moraes thinks too much, and what Fang Lang said about lobbying the US government is actually a rhetoric, and he does not need to really come forward to lobby the US government.

This kind of thing is exactly the job of the Shata Company, and if a commercial company in the United States wants to sell some sensitive equipment to the outside world, of course, it needs to take the initiative to lobby the government

！

If this thing can't be done well, why should Fang Lang give up 75% of the shares of Shata Company!

It doesn't matter who exactly these shares are in the hands of whom. However, you have to show your value when you take this share.

As for the cost of lobbying the government, it must be added to the sales cost and settled together!

In the end, it was the sheep that came out of the wool, and the Brazilian government paid for it.

Another reason is that Fang Lang knows that a military mutual assistance treaty in history about the Americas is about to be signed, and once this treaty is signed, Brazil and the United States will be equivalent to allies with agreements.

The content of this treaty is also very simple: an armed attack by any one country against one country in the Americas should be regarded as an armed attack on all the countries of the Americas; States should assist each other in self-defence, individually or collectively.

The signing of this agreement is equivalent to the whole of America becoming a military alliance, and if any country attacks any country in the Americas, the other countries in the Americas will help the American country.

Of course, this agreement doesn't actually have any practical significance, but it's a gesture that the countries of the Americas are willing to accept your leadership from the United States.

In fact, in the Falklands War that followed between Britain and Argentina, the United States should have declared war on Britain according to the agreement.

But in fact, the United States did not even show solidarity with Argentina, but joined the arms embargo against Argentina.

This is where this protocol comes in.

However, the existence of this agreement, no matter what the US government thinks of this agreement, this gives Fang Lang a chance.

An opportunity to acquire military equipment or technology from the United States.

Even in Fang Lang's view, the advantages of this agreement outweighed the disadvantages, although the later relations between the United States and the Soviet Union were very tense, which once made American countries very worried.

However, Fang Lang knew that in fact, there was no real war between the United States and the Soviet Union, and in this case, Brazil could actually use this agreement to obtain some greater benefits from the United States.

Of course, many other countries in the Americas are also considered for this reason, after all, the United States has promised to provide assistance to American countries.

Of course, General Moraes didn't know what Fang Lang was thinking, but he just felt that Fang Lang must have a considerable backing in the United States to dare to say such a thing.

If General Moraes is an anti-American general, then Fang Lang is in big trouble.

But now and later in Brazil, whether it is the president, the defense minister, or even the military generals, almost all of them are pro-American.

Therefore, Fang Lang dared to reveal to the military that he had a very close relationship with the Americans.

After listening to Fang Lang's words, General Moraes smiled heartily:

"Colonel Fang, please rest assured, if you can really persuade the U.S. government to sell aircraft carriers to us, then I will unswervingly support you as the commander of Brazil's first aircraft carrier fleet."

In the current Brazilian Navy, there is indeed no more suitable candidate for this position than Fang Lang.

Despite his young age, he was a successful admiral and was the only admiral to have been exposed to aircraft carrier combat.

Originally, his first fleet was also built to support the aircraft carrier formation, and if he was not arranged to be the commander of this fleet and let another person go on it, he might be constrained everywhere.

However, this does not mean that Fang Lang can become the commander of this fleet 100%.

As far as Admiral Moraes knew, there was now an officer in the Admiralty who had his sights on the position of captain of the aircraft carrier and was moving around to pave the way for himself, and as for whether he had any idea of becoming the commander of the fleet, it was uncertain.

However, this kind of thing must not be told to Fang Lang by himself.

However, from his personal point of view, he supports Fang Lang to take this position.

After all, we are colleagues in the expeditionary force, and we are born with a sense of closeness.

Unlike the other person, who is a typical old-school thinking, it is estimated that he can't even figure out how the aircraft carrier fights.

Today's statement can be regarded as his heartfelt words.

"Good! With the support of General Moraes, I believe

I'm going to make it."

Seeing Fang Lang's excited expression on his face, obviously he didn't receive the news, he smiled and said:

"But for such a big matter, you can't rely on me alone, you also have to communicate more with your colleagues in the Navy Staff.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to report your name at that time, and it won't be useful for me to support it, do you understand?"

This sentence sounded in Fang Lang's ears, and Fang Lang only thought that General Moraes was reminding him that according to the process, he would also have to be nominated by the Navy Staff before he could approve it.

And nothing else came to mind.

However, this time the communication with General Moraes was obviously much more relaxed and pleasant.

I don't know if it's out of the battlefield, General Moraes's people have become a lot more easy-going.

Or is it because his current military rank and position have improved significantly.

General Moraes didn't care whether Fang Lang understood his words, but continued to bring the topic back to the aviation industry.

"It's great that you can think of paving the way for the aviation industry by introducing the automotive industry.

However, it is not enough to set up a modification plant to convert military transport aircraft into civilian passenger aircraft.

Our future in Brazil must have the ability to design and build jet fighters on our own.

But I very much agree with your idea, starting from scratch, starting from the modification is no problem, if your company is established, be sure to inform me, I want to see it."

General Moraes said that he wanted to visit his company, and Fang Lang was of course very welcome, which was equivalent to the endorsement of the Minister of Defense to his aircraft factory.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured! For the development of the airline, I have made a detailed plan in mind.

I plan to start with the modification of American transport aircraft and learn from the experience of building advanced aircraft.

Then, starting with the manufacture of simple agricultural propeller aircraft, and after thoroughly mastering the ability to manufacture aircraft, he began to try to make two-seater trainer aircraft for the Air Force.

If I could, I would like to enter the field of civil aviation, to secure the company's profits by manufacturing and selling civil aviation aircraft, and then to develop our own jet fighter in Brazil."

Listening to Fang Lang's clear thoughts, General Moraes became even happier, picked up the coffee on the table and poured it fiercely:

"Good, good, really good."

It was as if the cup was not coffee, but wine, which made him feel a little dizzy, as if he was drunk.

"Tell me what kind of help you need from me. Rest assured, as long as I can do it, I will give it my full support."

Probably realizing that I have expressed my full support too many times today, it seems a little too dry to continue to express it verbally.
