In New York in April 1946, the weather still did not get warmer.

Fang Lang has been in the United States for three days, and after arranging for Conrad Chuze, whom he met in Switzerland, to be sent to Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Fang Lang rushed to the United States non-stop.

Even the matter of the treasure was handed over to his adjutant, and Zhuang Xintian, who served as the commander of the guard platoon, would personally be responsible for escorting the goods back to China after dealing with the German extermination mission.

The reason why Fang Lang rushed to the United States in such a hurry was because Jefferson, the general manager of Shata Company, sent a telegram to inform Fang Lang that after the unremitting efforts of the public relations department of Shata Company.

Finally, the U.S. Secretary of the Navy was persuaded to agree to sell an aircraft carrier to Brazil, but the specific model and configuration still need to be discussed by the Brazilian side.

Therefore, Fang Lang could only end his trip to Switzerland in a hurry and came to the United States, preparing to visit the Secretary of the Navy at the US Department of the Navy first.

At this time, the U.S. Department of Defense had not yet been established, and the United States only had the Admiralty and the War Department, and the Air Force, which had been baptized by World War II and played a decisive role in the victory of the war, was still under the command of the Army Air Force.

As a Brazilian Navy veteran who served under the U.S. Pacific Fleet, he was well aware of how much power the U.S. Navy Department had and how powerful it was.

As early as the first time he received the Admiralty's agreement to sell the aircraft carrier, Fang Lang asked Jefferson who the current US Secretary of the Navy was, and was ready to carry out targeted persuasion work.

This question turned out to be an old acquaintance, and he was also his superior General Nimitz during the Pacific War.

It's a pity that although he served under General Nimitz, he didn't have direct contact with the other party, but it doesn't matter that he has acquaintances in the U.S. Navy!

Although General Clark is always on guard against himself, now that he has retired, there must be a difference between the situation and the period of service.

Besides, he didn't think about letting General Clark come forward to convince General Nimitz for himself, but he just came forward to introduce him, so there should be no problem!

In fact, since the Shata Company had successfully persuaded the Minister of the Navy, General Nimitz, it was no problem for Fang Lang to visit General Nimitz directly.

However, according to Fang Lang's habitual thinking, he still wants to follow the path introduced by acquaintances, which is easier to pull into the relationship between the two.

More importantly, this time it is impossible for Fang Lang to negotiate on behalf of the Brazilian Admiralty alone, but it is necessary for the Brazilian Admiralty to arrange more heavyweight figures to participate in the negotiations.

You can't let Fang Lang be a colonel to be in charge of fighting the world!

Of course, some negotiations are made up of a verbal agreement between the bigwigs on both sides, and then the subordinates begin to negotiate the details.

Another way is that the people below will first reach a consensus at the next level according to the wishes of both parties, and after obtaining the consent of the superiors, then let the big people on both sides come forward to sign.

Two days ago, Fang Lang, accompanied by Jefferson, general manager of Shata Company, was familiar with the types of aircraft carriers currently in service in the United States, the various types of carrier-based equipment they are equipped with, and the types of carrier-based aircraft suitable for carrying.

After two days of familiarization, Fang Lang already had a clear goal in his mind, that is, the Essex-class aircraft carrier, which is now the largest number of US troops and the most powerful in combat effectiveness.

As for whether the Americans will agree to sell this new aircraft carrier to Brazil, Fang Lang has no bottom in his heart. But since it's already here, there's no reason to hold back, isn't it?

After a year, Fang Lang came to General Clark's house in New York again.

After retiring from the army, General Clark lived a very leisurely life, and his greatest hobby was fishing.

When Fang Lang came to the door of General Clark's house, he happened to see General Clark wearing a casual overalls going out with a fishing rod and other tools.

General Clark, who saw Fang Lang, was stunned for a moment, and took the initiative to speak:

"Fang, why do you have time to come and see me, a retired old fellow?"

"Uncle Clark, I see that John and I are good brothers, he is too busy with work to stay by your side, and I am a friend

Of course, I have the obligation to come and help him visit his family!"

Fang Lang said with a smile.

It's a pity that the old man General Clark has long seen through Fang Lang's nature, and knows that this guy is a little fox, so he won't be so kind.

So he joked directly:

"You kid has such a good heart, why don't I believe it so much!"

Fang Lang didn't mind, and changed the subject:

"Uncle Clark, this is going fishing? That's right, I also like fishing. Come, come, I'll help you carry your things, and we'll go fishing together.

Is there just one fishing rod? You can find one for me!

Let's see who catches more fish and who catches bigger fish."

As soon as he saw Fang Lang's posture about to be entangled, Clark knew that he couldn't run away today.

Shook his head helplessly, and pointed his finger at Fang Lang and said:

"You little fox, it must be no good thing, and you accompany my old man to fish, you are so kind?

Let me be clear, I'm retired now.

I've talked about things in the army, but it doesn't help."

Fang Lang smiled and didn't mind General Clark's behavior of gagging himself, and he didn't know what this old boy meant, he was his son's lifesaver.

I don't know how to be grateful at all, and I have to rely on it to pull the relationship.

"Look at what you said, you are a retired admiral, what can I do for you.

Isn't this to do something in the United States, and by the way, to see Mrs. Clark and Sister Sophia?

Although you don't want to see me, Mrs. Clark has been of great help to me.

I'm here to thank Mrs. Clark for her help."

When Clark heard Fang Lang's words, his face was full of disbelief, and he looked at Fang Lang and said:

"Guess I believe it or not?"

Before General Clark could finish speaking, Mrs. Clark's gentle voice came from behind him:

"What do you say? He was John's savior.

When did our family become so ungrateful?"

In fact, General Clark is not really ungrateful, if this is the case, he will not ask his old friend General Jackson to take care of Fang Lang.

Fang Lang also had no chance of being able to stand out from the Brazilian Navy so quickly.

It's just that through the contact with Fang Lang in the Pacific Theater, General Clark understood that the seemingly harmless guy in front of him was a little fox, and he would fall into his way if he wasn't careful.

Both of them know what kind of person each other is, so although the communication seems to be not harmonious, it is actually more of a reminder not to go too far.

This makes others seem to have a sense of déjà vu.

Fang Lang had already discovered that Mrs. Clark was attracted by the exchange between the two outside the door, so he deliberately said that he was here to thank Mrs. Clark.

From what Mrs. Clark said, Fang Lang found a very interesting thing, perhaps General Clark, who was decisive in the army, did not have a very high status in the family.

When General Clark heard the voice coming from behind him, he felt his ears tighten, and quickly turned around and said:

"Madam, you don't know, this kid is a little fox, he suddenly came here today, the purpose is definitely not simple."

Mrs. Clark didn't listen to General Clark's words, but said to Fang Lang:

"Fang, ignore this stubborn old man, I'm glad you came to see me again."

Fang Lang also hurriedly handed over the gift that had been prepared to Mrs. Clark and said:

"Madame's demeanor is even better than last year, I'm really glad to see you again!"

"Haha. Is it true! I think so too!

Come on in! Let's ignore this unreasonable old man."

Mrs. Clark was very happy when she heard Fang Lang's praise, completely ignoring General Clark, who was a little blue on the side, and directly ordered Fang

Lang Ying entered the living room.

After thinking about it, General Clark, who was standing outside the door, was still worried that his wife would be fooled by this little fox, so he gritted his teeth and put down the fishing tools in his hand, and turned around to go home.

Fang Lang had already sat on the sofa very naturally, enjoying the coffee served by Mrs. Clark.

When he saw General Clark coming in, he didn't forget to greet him with the coffee in his hand, so angry that General Clark gritted his teeth.

Mrs. Clark was inspecting the gift that Fang Lang had brought her, and when the gift box was opened, Clark said with surprise on her face:

"Oh my God! This is a Vacheron Constantin watch, is this a diamond? Oh, my God! It's so beautiful!

Thank you! Fang, I like your gift very much.

But wouldn't it be too expensive?"

This time, Fang Lang swept a lot of very classic watches in Switzerland, including of course many women's watches, which are all gifts that Fang Lang is ready to give to people.

Seeing that Mrs. Clark really wanted this watch, Fang Lang was also very happy, and smiled reservedly:

"Ma'am, you're so polite.

Compared to your help to me, this little gift of mine can only be described as disrespectful."

"Don't say that, I heard my brother say it.

Since the last time you purchased the equipment for the production of pesticides and fertilizers from him, in the past few months, your orders have not stopped.

Now the orders from the factory have been scheduled for next year. It's not like I'm helping you.

My brother also said that next time I will thank you in person!"

"Haha. You're so gracious, it's all business, they just have it, and we just need it.

Isn't that an instant fit?"

General Clark, who was on the side, saw that the two of them were flattering each other, as if they were going to talk endlessly, and that he seemed a little redundant to stand on the side, which made him very unhappy.

He cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, ahem, I said, you two are okay!

Stinky boy, be honest!

What the hell is going on here today, if you don't say I'll really go fishing!"

Hearing General Clark's words, Mrs. Clark said with a dissatisfied face:

"What do you old say! I thank you for taking care of my brother's family business, what's in your way!

It's weird here."

Fang Lang was not angry after listening to General Clark's words, but smiled and said:

"It's okay, aunt, if uncle wants to go fishing, let's go fishing first!

It's been a long time since I've been here, so I don't know where Sophia is! I have a gift for him!"

General Clark didn't expect that Fang Lang was not afraid of his threat, but he didn't care about letting himself catch his own fish, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

Did you misunderstand this little fox today?

It doesn't make sense! This is the master of the Three Treasures Hall who has nothing to do.

Mrs. Clark didn't care so much, and smiled at each other's waves:

"Sophia is still at work! I can't get back from work until I get off work, and I want to give her a call.

Is it okay to ask her to come home and have dinner with us tonight?"

Of course, Fang Lang would not refuse Mrs. Clark's invitation, completely ignoring the ugly face of General Clark beside him.
