Chapter 276: Political Influence

Fang Lang also didn't expect that the bill that he communicated with the National League in São Paulo last time had been submitted to the National League for discussion so quickly.

At the beginning, we only talked about some of the general directions, and the specific details have not yet been discussed!

When have these guys been so efficient, it's no wonder that President Dutra summons himself late at night.

As long as people who are not stupid can see the relationship between this bill and themselves.

It seems that the other party has either taken a fancy to his huge influence on the NLD and the SPD and wants to come over and make friends.

After all, it is not a simple matter for a policy bill that targets Chinese immigrants alone, and it has a 65 percent support rate on a completely non-Chinese legislature.

This shows that Fangyuan Group has gained huge political influence in Brazil through its rapid development in the economic field in the past two years.

Fang Lang's identity is no longer a simple admiral, but also a representative of a capital consortium with strong influence on Brazilian politics.

For people who want to be friends with him, Fang Lang has always been warmly welcome.

What's more, the other party is still the president of Brazil.

Or you just want to express your dissatisfaction with what you're doing.

But since the other party told himself that he voted in favor, he had already expressed his attitude.

It should not be here to find trouble, and the possibility of making friends should be greater.

"Thank you, Mr. President, for recognizing us Chinese.

I would also like to thank Li for your strong support to our Chinese immigrants.

I believe that with such a policy and your support, we Chinese will soon be able to integrate into the life of Brazil and contribute to the prosperity of Brazil."

Now Fang Lang has also seen the big scene, no matter whether President Dutra's words are true or not, he must show an attitude.

So it was just a diplomatic rhetoric thrown out.

President Dutra laughed when he heard Fang Lang's words, and after taking a sip of coffee, he said solemnly:

"I welcome the integration of Chinese people into Brazil.

In addition, I also hope to see more Chinese people stand up and speak out bravely.

We must know that Brazil is a democratic country, and freedom and equality have always been our unremitting pursuit.

Of course, there are still many remnants of feudalism in Brazil today.

We must eradicate these backward, ignorant, and anachronistic diseases."

Fang Lang listened to Mr. President's words while analyzing the meaning behind this sentence.

After not seeing each other for a while, President Dutra has apparently begun to adjust to his role as a politician and is no longer as straightforward in his speech.

At least Fang Lang has to analyze what he says now in order to roughly understand what the other party wants to express.

Democracies, eradication of feudal remnants, is that why Mr. President summoned him today?

But what the hell is this for me, I'm a rear admiral.

Isn't it going to reform the army?

Reform should not be discussed with yourself!

For a while, Fang Lang couldn't figure out what President Dutra wanted to express, so he could only follow Mr. President's words:

"Mr. President is right, we must fight against backward and ignorant feudal thinking.

As an admiral, my subordinates will resolutely obey the orders of Mr. President."

After hearing Fang Lang's words, President Dutra smiled and said:

"Fang, don't get me wrong, it's not a military operation.

Let's talk to you like this!

Our current presidential system in Brazil is not in keeping with our image as a Brazilian democracy.

You also travel to the United States a lot, so you should know what the presidential system in the United States is like.

That's the model of democracy, so I want to learn about the advanced political system of the United States.

Limit the president's powers and avoid a recurrence of misuse

Dictator of power."

Fang Lang was a little stunned by President Dutra's words, what do you mean?

Is this because you have too much power and want to divide power?

Study in the United States? How thoroughly have you been brainwashed by the United States?

No wonder the Americans will support you in a big way.

However, Fang Lang also has to admire President Dutra, after all, there are not many people who can take the initiative to weaken their power.

But you and I, the navy, can't talk about these things!

And so on, this is to use his influence on the National League and the SPD to push for the passage of this bill.

You don't need to push this kind of thing!

Who would refuse a president who wants to split power?

If the power of the president is small, won't the power in everyone's hands be greater?

Unless he wants to be the president of this centralized power.

Soon Fang Lang understood where the resistance was.

President Vargas, who is preparing to run in the next presidential election, and the Labor Party he formed.

Fang Lang also did not expect that one day Mr. President would seek his support in order to restrict the president's rights.

This is really unexpected.

As a capitalist, Brazil's emerging consortium is still open to the American political system.

After all, it was originally a political system that protected capitalists!

A fool would refuse!

Of course, the details still have to be asked.

The two then had an open and frank discussion about Brazil's future political system.

Fang Lang highly praised President Dutra for taking the initiative to give up power in his hands and resolutely implement the political system of separation of powers.

Mr. President also highly affirmed the foresight of Mr. Rear Admiral.

The talks were held in a sincere and friendly atmosphere.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Historically, President Dutra did promulgate a new constitution in September 1946.

While the presidency remains the dominant institution, it is subject to a number of restrictions that prevent future leaders from abusing their power. The new constitution establishes a system of three powers of government, guaranteeing the independence and freedom of the National Assembly in electing its members.

This night, the two sides negotiated for too long, and Fang Lang had no choice but to live together in the manor under the arrangement of Mayor Ewald Dursley.

Early the next morning, Fang Lang had breakfast with President Dutra before leaving the manor.

It wasn't until he left that President Dutra said apologetically:

"Fang, I am sorry that there has not been an investigation into your attack in São Paulo so far!"

Fang Lang knew what Dutra meant, and obviously apologized for arranging for the Ministry of Justice to enter the self-defeating matter.

But President Dutra cannot be blamed for this.

To say that President Dutra arranged for the Ministry of Justice to intervene in the investigation must have been well-intentioned.

After all, he couldn't be a murderer, and if he wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't have arranged such a means at all.

"Mr. President, this is none of your business.

We are not professional in the investigation, so we should give you more time, and I believe that the truth will come out sooner or later."

Fang Lang already knew in his heart that this case was not so easy to solve.

The investigation was inconclusive, and it was also expected by Fang Lang.

Rather than trust someone else's investigation, it would be better to do it himself, so he was ready to find time to go back to São Paulo to investigate.

President Dutra didn't see anything wrong with Fang Lang's expression, and thought that Fang Lang had already made his own guess about who the murderer was.

Holding Fang Lang's hand, he squeezed it, and said with a serious expression:

"If you have a suspicious target in your heart, you must not hide it, and you can say it so that the investigators can have another direction of investigation."

Feeling the strength of Mr. President's hand, Fang Lang's heart moved, and he smiled:

"I was ambushed once in the United States by the Japanese using similar tactics.

But I managed to avoid it.

But this time there is so little evidence that I really can't judge."

"What, something so big has happened.

Why haven't we heard the Ministry of Defense report it?"

Dutra didn't expect to ask another case.

Fang Lang shook his head with a smile and said:

"My friend found out about that incident in advance, so the FBI in the United States deliberately set a trap to lure the enemy out without causing me any harm.

So, I didn't report it."

"This is not okay, Major General Fang, you are an important officer of our Brazilian Navy, your safety is related to the national defense security of our Brazil, and there must be no negligence.

Now that you are a general, I will like the Ministry of Defense to suggest that your guard level be raised by one level, and the guard establishment will be upgraded to company level.

In this way, your travel safety can be guaranteed.

It's not enough for these damned Japanese to create a violent tragedy in our Brazil that stormed the presidential palace.

How dare you attack a high-ranking officer of our Brazilian Navy.

I think it's important for us to rank the Japanese as the least popular group in Brazil."

President Dutra immediately put forward his opinion, and it can be seen from here that the president is indeed very concerned about Fang Lang's safety, which is definitely not a concern for an army general.

After all, it is natural to be a soldier to fight, and it is a profession that is born to pin your head to the waistband of your pants to fight for wealth, how can you pursue safety.

Mr. President must be concerned about the Fangyuan Group behind Fang Lang and the political influence he has.

After last night's talks, the two have reached an agreement, and now it is a political alliance, and the president certainly does not want to be able to support his political allies, and his life is at risk.

For the Japanese to be listed as the most unpopular group, and for Dutra at best, it is a means of propaganda that does not cost money, is it possible to write this sentence into the constitution?

Of course, Fang Lang was very happy to be able to raise Fang Lang's guard level by one level and directly upgrade the establishment of the guard platoon to the guard company.

This is the bodyguard that the Brazilian government has assigned to itself, of course, the more the better.

But this is not enough, Fang Lang rolled his eyes, and said to Mr. President with a smile:

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your concern, I am a soldier and I am not nervous about my personal safety right now.

However, I am still very worried about the safety of my family.

After all, according to the FBI interrogation records, the Japanese attacked the United States because they suspected that I had attacked some of their temples when I was serving as an occupation force in Japan.

This is simply nonsense, and I suspect that they took over the artillery factory from the American occupation forces.

They didn't dare to trouble the Americans, so they blamed me."

"This artillery factory is now producing artillery for us in Brazil, so be careful.

Fangyuan Group is an indispensable part of our defense industry, and the safety of your family is also related to our national defense security in Brazil.

Let's see if it's necessary for us to send a guard unit to the Fangyuan Group."

After President Dutra heard Fang Lang's words, he understood that Fang Lang had a request to mention.

But he didn't know what he wanted, so he could only tentatively ask.

Fang Lang listened to Dutra's words and smiled:

"Thank you Mr. President for your concern, Fangyuan Group is a private company, and if there is a need for the state to send security forces, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.

My idea is to hope that the government will approve the establishment of a private force company by Fangyuan Group to build its own security team to protect the safety of the factory and my family."
