Chapter 196: Competitors
In fact, several people are staying together now, although Fang Lang's age is the youngest, in fact, everyone knows that Fang Lang's identity is the highest.
If Fang Lang seems very cramped and doesn't adapt to the current atmosphere, maybe several people will be a little restrained and can't let go.
But Fang Lang's uncaring and frank attitude suddenly made several people's bodies and minds relax.
Even Colonel Titch, who looked a little restrained on one side, relaxed.
After noticing that Colonel Tiqi had relaxed, Fang Lang asked the girl beside him:
"You tell me quietly if my brother has ever been here before. If I had known that he had known that he would not have brought me here to play, I would have sued him in front of my sister-in-law."
Everyone knew that Fang Lang was joking.
They all laughed, and the girl next to them also said without twisting:
"It's the first time I've met this boss, but it's the first time we've come here today, so if you ask us, we can't give you an exact answer!"
Listening to the girl's words, Fang Lang couldn't help but look at it again, the age should be eighteen or nineteen years old, with wheat-colored skin and a sexy figure, a typical Brazilian beauty.
This answer not only pointed out that it was the first time for him to come to such an occasion, but also answered Fang Lang's question.
It seems that the little girl is a little scheming!
Colonel Titch said with an innocent face:
"I've told you, it's my first time here, and you still don't believe me. If I had known that there was such a good place, I would have called you a treat."
"Alright! I believe in you. It seems that if you want to come out to play in the future, you have to find Berry. It's not fun looking for you at all."
Fang Lang definitely couldn't get Colonel Natich to open up and change the topic of Berry's body.
Of course, Berry was very happy and patted his chest and said that if you want to find a fun project, you must find him.
After a period of gags, the relationship between several people quickly became closer, and there was no strangeness at all that I only met today.
I can't help but sigh that the summary of the four irons of life is really in place.
Today's occasion is obviously a process of getting acquainted with each other, and it is obviously impossible for everyone who has changed their military uniforms to discuss things in the army in the presence of outsiders.
Therefore, everyone is purely relaxing and bringing the relationship closer to each other.
One night, early the next morning, Fang Lang was woken up by the sunlight through the curtains.
Finally pulled out of the arm of the girl next to him and started his morning exercise every morning, which is his habit, and the morning exercise can make him energetic all day long.
After he finished exercising and took a hot shower, a few old guys got up one after another, and it seemed that everyone was a little tired last night.
Looking at Colonel Titch's embarrassed appearance holding his waist, Fang Lang laughed.
provoked another burst of laughter from everyone.
In a pleasant atmosphere, a few people, a few people ate a hearty breakfast.
I didn't bring the girls with me, and a few people came to sit down on the deck chairs by the beach.
In the open environment, there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping, and Colonel Berry was the first to ask his own questions:
"Fang, I heard Titch say that you can get a new destroyer for the U.S. military, right?"
Colonel Titch smiled a little embarrassedly on the side.
The other two also looked at Fang Lang with burning eyes.
After glancing at a few people, Fang Lang nodded with a smile and said:
"It's not that difficult. Are you going to pay for it out of your own pocket?"
Hearing Fang Lang's affirmative answer, several people were smiling, obviously very satisfied.
"Of course not, but now that all five of us at the naval base are here, what do you think we should apply to the Admiralty together?"
"If I still participate, I'm going to be scolded.
After all, my First Fleet is now the most well-equipped, and if I wanted new destroyers at this time, it would make people think that I was insatiable.
However, I absolutely support your ideas
We have such a long coastline in Brazil that we can't guarantee safety with our strength alone."
"No, no, Fang, you misunderstood. I mean, we apply for two new destroyers per base, and your First Fleet is missing an aircraft carrier, isn't it?
We can submit the entire additive ship purchase plan together, and such a large warship purchase plan may be able to help the logistics department reduce the price of suppliers! Right?"
Colonel Golden McCoy of the Salvadoran Naval Base waved his hand repeatedly.
Fang Lang looked at a few people with a smile, it seemed that everyone had heard that the Admiralty was promoting Brazil's own aircraft carrier program, and several people obviously wanted to take a ride on the aircraft carrier and submit it to the Admiralty together.
If it is really possible to add eight new destroyers on the basis of one aircraft carrier, Fang Lang will certainly not refuse.
After all, this is not a small business, and Fang Lang certainly hopes that it can be done, so that the hope of convincing the US government will be greater.
Business! Of course, the bigger the better!
This is Colonel Berry reminding Fang Lang in a low voice:
"Fang, you have to pay attention, I heard that the captain of the battleship Minas Gerais, Colonel Marcelino Orlando, has been very active in the Admiralty recently, and wants to persuade the Admiralty to buy a new aircraft carrier and make him the captain of the aircraft carrier."
This is really surprising news, Fang Lang was really shocked by this news.
"What is this guy thinking? Did he feel that aircraft carriers, like battleships, could act alone? Or does he want to be the commander of the First Fleet?"
Colonel Titch was the first to ask questions.
The other two also had surprised expressions, apparently the first time they had heard such news.
Fang Lang couldn't help but look at Colonel Berry even more, it seems that this guy is not only more expensive than everyone else, but the speed of receiving this news is also significantly higher than everyone else!
Hearing Colonel Titch's question, Berry said noncommittally:
"It's hard to say."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood what he meant, and it was obvious that the target of this Orlando colonel was indeed Fang Lang's current position. After all, this is Brazil's most powerful naval job right now.
And Colonel Orlando is obviously higher than Fang Lang in terms of seniority and relationship in the Brazilian Navy.
So, it's obviously not surprising to look at this position of the waves above.
Fang Lang was very surprised to receive such an important news today, it seems that this kind of gathering will have to be organized often in the future!
Among the colleagues in the Admiralty, it is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, if it weren't for Colonel Berry revealing this news today, maybe Fang Lang would have been kept in the dark.
When the time comes, he will work hard to persuade the US government to agree to sell Brazil's new aircraft carrier, and then he will make a wedding dress for others.
However, Fang Lang didn't show any anger, smiled, and said casually:
"I'm looking forward to him being able to convince the Admiralty, but if it's really sure that he will be the first captain of an aircraft carrier, I don't know if the Americans are willing to sell us aircraft carriers."
After listening to Fang Lang's words, the four of them glanced at each other, and they all understood what Fang Lang meant.
If it were another person who served as the captain of the aircraft carrier, Fang Lang would have a way to get the Americans to refuse to sell the aircraft carrier to Brazil.
Actually, it's not that difficult, after all, it's very difficult to achieve something, but it's very simple to destroy something.
At this time, Fang Lang's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, it seemed that his rapid rise should have touched the interests of many people.
If Colonel Orlando was able to have this idea, how could he be assured that others would not have the same idea?
Maybe there are the same people among the people here, but I can't say!
It seems that he has to keep a closer eye on his basic situation in the navy.
Otherwise, maybe one day, someone will steal the tower when he is outside.
"Fang, I think you still have to be careful.
As I understand it, Orlando is a home
Although the guy is like a proud rooster, as the captain of a battleship directly under the General Staff of the Navy, his relationship in the Admiralty is tougher than ours.
It's really possible that he will succeed in operation!
Even if the United States is unwilling to provide us with advanced aircraft carriers, maybe he will go to the British!
You must know that his battleship Minas Gerais was British-built, and he often had to drive to England for overhaul.
Could it be that this guy has already found a suitable aircraft carrier in the UK?"
In the end, the relationship between Colonel Tiqi and Fang Lang was still relatively iron, and he directly said what he thought in his heart.
Hearing that this Orlando has a close relationship with the British Navy, Fang Lang was moved in his heart, if he remembered correctly, Brazil's first aircraft carrier was indeed the British Giant-class.
It was the Avenger, which had just been commissioned in Britain in January 1945.
However, the aircraft carrier was purchased in 1956 and then refurbished for another four years, and it was not until the end of 1960 that the refit was completed and it entered service with the Brazilian Navy.
The most important thing is that this aircraft carrier is called Minas Gerais, thinking of this, Fang Lang had to start taking this matter seriously.
Obviously, without his intervention, the captain of Brazil's first aircraft carrier, although he does not know whether it is Colonel Orlando, is obviously inseparable from him.
Listening to the advice of people to eat well, Fang Lang was not an arrogant person, so he nodded and said:
"You have a point, I really should take this guy seriously.
Brother Berry, thanks for the reminder!
Count me in the matter of reporting together, we jointly applied for one aircraft carrier and eight new destroyers in the name of five naval bases.
I'm sure the Admiralty will take our opinion seriously."
This can be regarded as an agreement for everyone to get the destroyer on the aircraft carrier and apply together.
Since the Admiralty plans to equip aircraft carriers, it is impossible not to apply for a single destroyer together with the aircraft carrier!
Even if each naval base approves one, everyone earns it.
When everyone heard Fang Lang's words, they immediately looked at each other and laughed.
Fang Lang stretched out his hand, and everyone folded their hands one after another, and I was tightly together.
This time, the purpose of the gathering was achieved.
After this gathering, Fang Lang understood the importance of communicating more with his colleagues in the Navy.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Fang Lang found Mr. Redondo, General Manager of Global Trade Brazil.
The main reason is that Fangyuan Group does not have any projects in Rio de Janeiro, and there is no person in charge in Rio, so Fang Lang has things in Rio that are generally handed over to Redondo to do.
After spreading the news to the Japanese last time that President Vargas wanted to surrender to Japan, Redondo completely gained Fang Lang's trust.
Now the work in Brazil is also doing well.
A large number of local Brazilian businessmen purchase various machinery and equipment and build various factories through global trade channels in Europe and the United States.
At Fang Lang's behest, Global Trade used its network in Europe and the United States to recommend some lucrative projects to Brazilian businessmen.
More than just buying equipment and selling products for entrepreneurs in Brazil.
It also began to disseminate business information, provide business advice and conduct business training for entrepreneurs.
It has allowed many Brazilians who have money but do not have suitable investment projects to find a direction to invest.
It even provides a full set of services for Brazilian entrepreneurs, so that as long as these entrepreneurs are willing to invest money, they can get comprehensive guidance from Global Trade, from what kind of factory to open, to what kind of equipment to purchase, how to produce, how to manage, and the products produced are purchased by Global Trade.
A package of support programs that gives Global Trade an unrivalled presence among small and medium-sized enterprises in Brazil.
Now the rich people in Brazil know that if you have money and don't have good projects, you will go to Global Trade and teach you how to start a factory
kind of makes you money.
