After thinking about it again, Fang Lang still rejected Lieutenant Sirio Reich's proposal to go to Rio de Janeiro to investigate in person.

Although now Lieutenant Sirio Reich works at his own naval base, his actual job is also the head of the Brazilian Intelligence Service, the Natal distribution.

As the head of a local intelligence service, he left his job to go to the capital to investigate the situation of the former war minister, and once someone finds out, it will be a big deal.

Standing up and patting Lieutenant Sirio Reich on the shoulder, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"You don't have to make a trip yourself, I have a lot of friends in the capital.

We don't need to investigate, this information may be information for us who I don't know about, but for some people it's just some after-dinner gossip.

I'm coming to you because, I noticed in this report, that your people mentioned that they were going to start with the guards around Mr. Colonel, and that they had already begun to implement it?"

"Sir, this plan has already begun.

As far as we know, these guards are not so much guards as domestic servants, and they have completely lost the sense of honor of being a soldier.

I think we'll have something to gain soon."

"Very well, these people around us will definitely be able to provide us with more accurate information. Although we have some speculation about the situation now, we must not let our guard down.

It is certainly not enough for a person to become a colonel officer, and perhaps he has some special talents!"

"Yes, sir, I see.

Rest assured, our men will soon infiltrate Mr. Colonel's entourage and make sure that all of Mr. Colonel's actions do not escape your eyes."

Fang Lang nodded with great satisfaction, no matter how important intelligence work is, with fast and accurate intelligence support, Fang Lang will not be blind when he does anything, and he will not make any decisions.

After Lieutenant Sirio Leitch left, Fang Lang called Major Blackwell's office directly.

"Haha. Fang, I know you're going to call me.

You don't have to say, I know you want to ask me about your new colleague, right?"

As soon as he heard Blackwell's laughter, Fang Lang knew that he had made the right call.

"Alright! It seems that I don't need to speak, brother, you have already inquired about some information for me, right?"

"Of course, Fang, we are good brothers, your business is my business, of course I have to help you pay attention!

If you don't call me today, I'm going to call you."

"It seems that my brother's harvest is not small!

Tell me what you've found out for me?"

"Brother, I definitely don't need to tell you some information on the surface, I'll only tell you one thing today.

You must not spread the word about it, otherwise it will be a scandal for our Brazilian army."

Blackwell's words made Fang Lang stunned, his new colleague was also involved in a scandal in the Brazilian army?

Here's what's going on.

"Dude, you know who I am.

I'm just going to know some information about my new colleague and his parents, and I'm not very interested in scandals, so I don't think you need to tell me about that."

The scandal in the Brazilian army, Fang Lang didn't dare to be interested, after all, some things can be in-depth, but some things are still known as little as possible.

After all, curiosity kills cats, don't be too curious about everything, especially this kind of thing that is related to the reputation of the entire army, it is better to know a little less.

Blackwell, as the head of the counterintelligence department of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, still has a lot of power, and it is very normal to be able to learn some secret information in the army.

However, he is the military chief of the main forces of the Navy, and some things are not necessarily suitable for him to know.

"Haha. Fang, I just like your character.

This scandal happens to be related to your new colleague, and I got the news

, this new colleague of yours sold a batch of weapons and equipment brought back from Europe.

With the money, I bought a property in Rio de Janeiro and didn't know who reported it to the War Department.

The military bigwigs directly notified his father-in-law, which made his father-in-law lose face and was very embarrassed.

However, in the end, the matter was suppressed.

But he won't be able to get along in the Army, and just as you were going to form a Marine Corps, his father-in-law put on an old face and found Mr. President."

Good fellow, you're bold enough. Dare to sell the arms brought back from Europe.

So it seems that General Crook is worried, is this the army's act of mixing sand into the navy?

After thinking about it, Fang Lang denied it again.

This matter is known only to the Brazilian War Ministry itself, and not to outsiders.

Could it be that no one in the War Department wants to come to the Navy on their own initiative, and it just so happens that Colonel Valdo Granma has such a serious problem, and the officers of the War Department are selling the face of the former Minister of the Army.

came a boat to push the boat along the river and solved this candidate for entering the navy!

Thinking about the fact that this colonel's background is the son-in-law of the former Minister of the Army, he has been serving in the Army, and he naturally has Army attributes, and no matter what, it is impossible for the people in the Navy to really accept him.

So, it's the perfect sand for the perfect time.

However, this colonel is also bold enough! The idea of fighting arms.

"Selling arms? Is it just this time, or is it just the same way all the time?

It's not going to be a long-term stable arms business, is it?

If that's the case, there's no reason he's the only one involved!

Could it be that Mr. Former Secretary of the Army is the main culprit, and this guy is just a handler?"

Fang Lang involuntarily blurted out his doubts.

This situation is not impossible!

After all, make money! Not chilling.

According to what Fang Lang learned, this Colonel Waldo Granma has a very ordinary family background, born in an ordinary peasant family in Amazonas.

After joining the army, I had the opportunity to get out of the countryside and get in touch with the outside world of flowers.

If you want to talk about the appearance of this guy, it is indeed very in line with the aesthetics of the Western world in this era, that is, we often say that the person is very handsome.

Even if he is middle-aged now, he is still very handsome.

His wife, Fang Lang has never seen it, and he doesn't know what he looks like, but he is probably conquered by this guy's handsomeness.

Otherwise, the daughter of the dignified Minister of War would definitely not look down on a small soldier from the countryside!

"Brother! You're really fast, but this time you should be thinking wrong.

The original equipment of our army was not good, and it can even be said that it was backward, and we counted the batch of munitions purchased from Germany before the war, and there was no shortage.

What's more, our War Secretary's house has a huge coffee plantation and a lot of land in Rio de Janeiro.

I don't think I'm going to do anything like reselling arms.

According to the information I received from the War Office, this is probably the first time that this Colonel Waldo Granma has done this business, and he was easily found out by the War Office."

Hearing Blackwell overturn his inference, Fang Lang shrugged indifferently, after all, this was the idea that suddenly popped into his mind, and he didn't expect to be found out directly by himself.

"If this guy is really doing this business for the first time, it's interesting, what is it that makes him take such a big risk?

Is he short of money?

As an army colonel, he shouldn't be short of money!

Even if there is a lack of money, why is there a shortage of money now?"

"Haha. Fang, do you want to be a detective?

Let's talk to you like this! Why he did this we don't know, and we don't want to know.

We just need to know that he really did this business and that the evidence has been found.

This matter is not investigated by our intelligence department, but by their War Department after receiving the letter of complaint and initiating an investigation.

And it's closed, and we can't touch this case again, do you know what I mean?"

Of course, Fang Lang understood what Blackwell meant, if someone else has closed the case, you can bring it over for an in-depth investigation.

The most important thing is that the party in this case is still the son-in-law of the Secretary of the Army, even if the Secretary of the War has already pushed it down.

But the person concerned is also a colonel officer, and some things have to be done in moderation.

Otherwise, you don't understand the rules of officialdom.

"I understand, I'm just talking to you.

Because these are suspicious points!

But you're right, the War Department has closed the case, so let's not delve too deep.

Your news has helped me a lot.

I didn't say it, I'm going to Rio de Janeiro in the next two days, and we'll meet up when the time comes.

Last time we found a great place to meet."

"That's it, that's what I'm waiting for.

I've heard Titch tell me, but unfortunately, our wallets aren't thick enough, so we're waiting for you, the big boss, to come and show me something!"

Of course, Fang Lang understood what Blackwell was talking about.

This couldn't help but remind him of the mansion he arranged for Radia Redondo to buy, and he didn't know how it was cleaned up now.

If you're done, you'll be able to play with everyone in your own Navy Club, but it's much safer than outside.

It seems that I have to go to Rio de Janeiro this time.

Of course, Fang Lang would not refuse Blackwell's request, and this friend was still very helpful to him.

Fang Lang must maintain this relationship.

Therefore, I readily agreed to the other party's request.

Then the two bragged for a while, and hung up the phone for half an hour.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Lang fell into deep thought, he felt that Colonel Valdo Granma must have sold this batch of arms for a reason.

As he and Blackwell said, Mr. Colonel, who was not short of money in the past, why is he starting to be short of money now.

What is the reason for the lack of money?

Why should the money from the sale of arms be used to buy another property?

Wasn't the house you used to live in bad?

Since the old Mr. War Minister did not know about his behavior, the reason for his lack of money must have nothing to do with the family.

Or is there some other reason?

Lighting a cigar, leaning back in his office chair and looking out the window at the seascape, Fang Lang fell into deep thought.

Slowly, one thought after another came to his mind, and he ruled them out one by one.

In the end, Fang Lang thought of the most likely explanation, and he no longer hesitated.

General Clarke, who found the advisory group, and through General Clark's introduction, met Lieutenant General Mark, who was in charge of the operations of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

After several rounds, he found the American liaison officer who was in charge of docking with Colonel Waldo Granma in the expeditionary force at that time.

And a message provided to Fang Lang by this US military liaison officer allowed Fang Lang to confirm his conjecture.

A fox-like smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
