Chapter 437: Colonel Tick's Chance
Not long after being acquired by the global group, Caterpillar Inc., with the guidance of the mature plan brought by Fang Lang from later generations, the design department has completed the design of several construction machinery required by Fang Lang after a period of day and night struggle, and trial-produced a batch.
A team of engineers from Universal Road & Bridge Corporation used these new construction machinery and new asphalt concrete materials to build a two-lane asphalt road between the Rockefeller Estate and Fang Lang's Estate in New York's Hudson Valley.
Mr. Alvin Rockefeller, after seeing the efficiency of the construction of this highway and the effect after completion, was full of praise.
Global Road and Bridge, which has not yet started to build highways in Europe, has received several road reconstruction orders from the United States, which makes Fang Lang very happy.
The Global Road and Bridge Company also began to take this opportunity to recruit troops in the United States, hiring a large number of experts in the construction of roads and bridges, and even hiring several architecture professors from Cornell University to work as consultants in the company.
As soon as the Pan-European Highway Management Company signed an agreement with the local government, the Universal Road and Bridge Company was ready to start construction.
Just as Fang Lang was thinking about these businesses, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Qi Qingshan's voice came from outside the door:
"Boss, Colonel Tiki has arrived."
Hearing this, Fang Lang stopped thinking, got up slowly, sorted out his appearance, saw that he was wearing a military uniform, and thought for a while before saying:
"Got it, I'll change my clothes and go down."
Because he is now a major general, if he wears a military uniform to meet with Colonel Adams Teach, it may cause the other party to be cramped, so Fang Lang still decided to change into civilian clothes before going down.
After all, the other party is considered his friend.
Qi Qingshan, who was outside the door, heard this, and whispered, "Yes, boss!" stopped talking, stood quietly at the door, and waited for Fang Lang to come out.
Fang Lang took off his military uniform in the room, changed into a simple white shirt and black trousers, and pushed the door and walked out.
Under Qi Qingshan's guidance, he soon met Adams Titch in a crisp military uniform in the restaurant.
When the other party saw Fang Lang dressed in civilian clothes, he was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted, walked quickly in front of Fang Lang, and came to salute.
"Your Excellency General, good afternoon!"
Seeing this, Fang Lang could only smile helplessly, and stood up and gave the other party a military salute before saying:
"Good afternoon!
Alright, man, we're friends, let's not get so angry.
I haven't seen you for so long, it's rare to have a chance to get together, so let's not engage in the same set of superiors and subordinates!"
Hearing this, Adams Tiqi hurriedly put down his saluting hand with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to Fang Langdao:
"Haha...... Although we are friends, you are my superior, and you must maintain absolute respect."
Fang Lang understood the meaning of the other party's words, after all, Fang Lang had promised to push the other party to the top position a long time ago, and now he could be regarded as the other party's backstage, so the other party could be regarded as showing loyalty to himself in disguise.
Hearing this, Fang Lang laughed, stretched out his hand to shake the other party, and gave a big hug before letting go of the other party and said:
….
"I received my heart, but today is a gathering of friends, and there are no superiors and subordinates.
Sit, sit, let's eat and talk."
Adams Teach, who understood Fang Lang's attitude, no longer hesitated, and sat back to the position just now, and Fang Lang also sat opposite the other party casually.
Seeing Fang Lang sitting down, Adams Titch directly stretched out his hand to greet the waiter, and asked Fang Lang in his mouth:
"How about some Chinese food, I've been to this club twice, and the Chinese food here tastes pretty good."
Obviously, this is to accommodate Fang Lang's taste, and of course Fang Lang will not refuse. Otherwise, wouldn't his purpose of arranging a Chinese chef into the club be wasted?
Now that there are more and more Chinese in Brazil, Fang Lang is trying his best to let Chinese culture penetrate into the ordinary life of Brazilians.
And the Chinese chefs in the club are naturally one of these means, after all, Chinese food has withstood the test in later generations.
Nodding his head, he said:
"Of course I'm fine."
Colonel Adams Teach, who received an affirmative answer, did not hesitate to pick up the menu and start ordering.
Although the pronunciation made by a foreigner when ordering Chinese food was very strange, Fang Lang didn't care, but watched all this with interest.
After ordering four dishes, Adams Titch also handed the menu to Fang Lang and motioned to Fang Lang if he wanted to take a look. Fang Lang saw that only the two of them were eating, so there was no waste, and he waved his hand casually and said:
"Just the two of us eating, four dishes are enough."
Hearing this, Adams Titch casually closed the menu in his hand and handed it to the waiter beside him:
"That's it, hurry up and serve the food."
The waiter was a Brazilian girl, and when she heard this, she smiled slightly, nodded politely and said:
"Would you like to have some left wine?"
Before Adams Titch could answer, Fang Lang had already waved his hand directly:
"No need, there are other arrangements for the afternoon."
Hearing the girl's inquiry, Adams Teach, who was just reacting to his expression, could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and said:
"Forget it! Work matters."
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"If you want to drink, next time call Abubakari Blakewell, and a few of our old friends will have a good time together.
I've got something to do this afternoon, and I'm not in good shape for drinking."
As soon as he heard this, Adams Tiqi knew that Fang Lang really had other arrangements, and it was not that he didn't give himself face, so he quickly nodded and said:
"No problem, there's a lot of time to drink!
When you are free, let me know at any time, and I will accompany you at any time."
Seeing this scene, the waiter also understood that today's drinks could not be sold, so he no longer entangled, nodded politely and said:
"Wait a minute, you two, the meal will be ready soon."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After the waiter left, Fang Lang casually looked at Adam Stitch on the opposite side and said:
"Dude, is there anything you suddenly asked me out about today?"
With the relationship between the two, Fang Lang didn't feel the need to beat around the bush, so he directly asked Colonel Tiqi's purpose.
Hearing this, Colonel Tiqi didn't have any special expression, but lowered his body with a little curiosity, approached Fang Lang's body and said:
….
"I've heard that you're here at the Admiralty to push the Department of Defense to agree to our own destroyers, right?"
This kind of thing didn't have any secret significance, so Fang Lang never thought about hiding it from anyone, so he nodded casually and said:
"That's right! The matter has been implemented. The Ministry of National Defense will officially issue a document today, entrusting Fangyuan Shipyard to design and build our own destroyer."
"Oh! Did you say how many ships were going to be built?"
As soon as he heard Colonel Titch's question, Fang Lang laughed.
"What? How many do you want? Didn't you just take over a Flaccher-class destroyer?
Have you formed a combat force now?"
Colonel Titch smiled and said:
"Isn't this a little bit of a rumor, I want to see if there is no chance to match two more ships!
Since I had this new destroyer, the old ships have been completely unable to keep up, and the people below are asking me when I can get a new one!"
Fang Lang smiled when he heard this:
"The construction plan is experimental in nature, and the performance is still on par with the "Flache"-class destroyers, and there are not many bright spots. There is only one in number.
As a naval base in the capital, there is a very high possibility that it will be handed over to you after completion."
Hearing this, Colonel Titch's face immediately burst into laughter
Flower, but soon seemed to think of something, and he immediately stabilized his mood and asked:
"Don't you need your carrier fleet?"
Fang Lang smiled and waved his hand and said:
"The current aircraft carrier fleet has been formed, and the tonnage of warships has exceeded more than half of the entire navy.
If we continue to fight for the share of the other brothers, we will be a little greedy, and we will be besieged by others."
Colonel Titch shook his head again and again:
"No, no, I'm sure I don't have a problem."
Although the other party said so, if Fang Lang really pulled all the warships under his command, even if he didn't say it, his subordinates would definitely have very big opinions.
Fang Lang still understands this bit of human affection, so although Colonel Tiqi said this, Fang Lang didn't take it seriously, just smiled.
When Colonel Tiqi was about to say a few more words, he saw that the waiters had already begun to come over with the dishes, so he didn't continue, and when the dishes were finished, Fang Lang said directly:
"Alright, alright, I don't need to say this anymore, I understand your intentions.
However, you also lead troops to fight, and you still have brothers under your command, even if you have no opinion, can they still have no opinion?
So, if you are interested in this new destroyer, you can start operating now.
Do you understand what I mean?
Don't worry, I won't fight you this time, your opponent is the brother of the other three naval bases."
Hearing this, Colonel Titch also sighed and said:
"You're right, I have no opinion, and the brothers below will certainly have an opinion.
Since you don't have any ideas about this warship this time, then I'm really welcome!"
Fang Lang nodded indifferently, picked up the fast child and gestured to Adams Titch, and began to pick up vegetables for himself.
