Fang Lang didn't expect that Colonel Tiqi would answer himself like this.

Obviously, the other party's meaning is very clear, as long as he needs it, he can change his position, and he can go wherever he wants.

In this regard, Fang Lang was noncommittal, the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, and he continued to eat the dishes while slowly speaking:

"Do you have a place you'd like to go?"

Colonel Titch shook his head slightly, and let out a sigh of relief:

"No, I never thought about it before, I thought I was going to be in this position until I retired."

Seeing that the other party was sitting precariously, Fang Lang motioned to the other party to pick up the chopsticks, and said with a smile:

"Don't be so serious, let's talk while eating."

Although Fang Lang behaved very casually, as if he was chatting, Colonel Titch knew very well in his heart that his words now might affect the direction of his military career in the next few years.

He never doubted Fang Lang's influence on the Brazilian Navy, although the other party was much younger than himself. But the other party's rapid growth in recent years, as well as the other party's family's growing influence in Brazil.

The family's business has supported the entire Brazilian defense industry, allowing Brazil to have the ability to produce its own guns and artillery, and even accepted the commission of the Air Force to begin the development of training aircraft.

Now it has begun to undertake the task of building warships of the Navy.

If that weren't enough, looking at his close relationship with the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of Defense, and Mr. President, it wouldn't be too difficult to help him run and change positions.

Therefore, when Fang Lang asked if he wanted to change positions, he understood that his opportunity had come.

But, to be honest, he really didn't think about this problem himself, and for a while, he didn't know where to go.

Speaking of which, his current position can be regarded as one of the few positions of real power in the Brazilian Navy.

But when he is old, he doesn't have the momentum to continue to gallop on the ocean, but hopes that he will have the opportunity to be a general, and his life will be complete.

Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Adams Tiqi took a deep breath, calmed his mood, picked up the chopsticks on the table again, and said slowly:

"Is there a place where you need me?"

I have to say that Colonel Adams Titch is a very smart person, and he knows that Fang Lang will definitely not treat him badly. Therefore, he didn't mention where he wanted to go at all, but repeatedly told Fang Lang that I would go wherever you needed me to go.

Fang Lang smiled and picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, while asking Colonel Titch:

"Would you be interested in sitting in the office of the Navy Staff?"

"Of course I'm interested, so that if there is any new news from the Admiralty, I will be able to inform you as soon as possible!"

Colonel Tiqi obviously misunderstood what Fang Lang meant, but such an attitude did make Fang Lang speechless.

I could only shake my head and say:

"I mean, since you're staying in your current position and don't have a chance to go further, I'm going to let you jump out.

Now it happens that the construction of a new type of warship will definitely require the participation of the Admiralty, and you have a wealth of front-line work experience, and you also have one of the "Fletcher"-class destroyers we are using now, so you are very familiar with this warship.

It should be fitting for you to come forward to work with Fangyuan Shipyard to design and build ships. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks and took a look at the dish, as if he was a little worried that Adams Tiggie would misunderstand, and continued:

"This is the first 5,000-ton modern destroyer independently developed by our country, and once this warship is successfully built with your participation, then your contribution will certainly be not small.

Next, you can consider leaning into the position of Chief of Staff of the Navy. ”

At this moment, where can Adams Titch not understand what Fang Lang means, this is to push himself to the position of chief of staff of the Navy!

As Fang Lang said, he is now in the position of commander of the naval base in Rio de Janeiro, and if there is no special situation that can only be caused by war, it is basically hopeless to be promoted.

After all, if you want to be promoted to the rank of rear admiral through seniority, you definitely don't have a chance.

But if it is really as Fang Lang said, participating in the construction of the Navy's first self-built warship, it will be a real political achievement. With this political achievement as a foundation, and Fang Lang came forward to promote, then he really had a chance to be a major general.

What's more, Fang Lang still wants him to serve as the chief of staff of the Navy, this is a real position of real power, you must know that the current Minister of the Navy, General Crook, is from the position of Chief of Staff of the Navy.

During his tenure as Chief of Staff of the Navy, the other party actually controlled the affairs of the entire Brazilian Navy. Although he doesn't have the qualifications and abilities of the other party.

But I have the support of Fang Lang! It is equivalent to getting the support of half of the navy, where to find such a good thing.

Thinking of this, Adams Titch trembled a little unconsciously, and finally stabilized his emotions, and forced himself to calm down:

"I couldn't really do.

Fang, please rest assured! I will obey your orders. ”

This is a blatant show of loyalty. Soon Adams Titch seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said to Fang Lang:

"Fang, although my current position is rather awkward, I have to say that as a naval base defending the capital, both strength and location are very important.

If I leave this position, I think it's important for you to arrange for someone of your own to stay here. ”

Adams Titch's words can be regarded as having no scruples about attributing himself to Fang Lang's command, and he directly began to give advice to Fang Lang.

Of course, Fang Lang can see the importance of this position, but his seniority in the Navy is still young, and he really can't find a suitable candidate to replace Adams Titch for a while.

After all, the person in this position must have at least the rank of colonel, and the commander of the naval base in the capital garrison is actually the leader of all the naval base commanders in Brazil.

Once Adams Titch leaves, there will be plenty of people eyeing the position, and it will be a fierce competition at that time.

Fang Lang went through all the people in his mind, and he really couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so he could only look at Adams Titch on the other side and said:

"Do you have the right person?"

Hearing this, Adams Titch also frowned, he didn't think that he would have the opportunity to go further, so he never thought that after he left, there would be someone suitable for his current position.

Now that he heard Fang Lang's inquiry, he couldn't help but start thinking about it.

He has been in the Navy for half his life, and the people under his own command, of course, have people who are suitable for this position. But it's a pity that the military rank and seniority are not enough.

What's more, he felt he couldn't recommend anyone under his command. Because, this will give Fang Lang the idea that he wants to cultivate his own private power.

Therefore, he directly rejected this option.

But what other options are there besides this one? Adams Titch began to search for a suitable candidate in his mind, first of all, this person must be willing to be attached to Fang Lang's command, or even someone who only looks to the other party.

Such a person must be the same as himself, who has no background in the navy.

At the same time, if you want to become the commander of the naval base in the garrison capital, you must have enough ability to be able to completely control the naval base in your own hands.

Adams Tichy flashed a personal name in his mind, and suddenly a name entered his mind, thinking carefully about this person's personal resume, it was indeed very suitable, but I didn't know if he was willing to be attached to Fang Lang.

However, it is better for Fang Lang to decide this matter by himself, he is only responsible for recommending, whether he uses it or not, whether it can be used depends on the choice of both parties.

Adams Teach, who understood this, no longer hesitated, and said directly:

"I have a candidate here, but I don't know if he is willing to move closer to us."

As soon as he heard this, Fang Lang became interested, the meaning of the other party's words was obvious, there was a person who had this ability, but it was not his person, and he didn't know if the other party was willing to join his camp.

Fang Lang didn't expect that Adams Titch was not the one who recommended him, which made Fang Lang have to look at the good old man in front of him again.

In fact, Fang Lang was a little worried about whether Adams Tiqi would be able to take on the post of Chief of Staff of the Navy, after all, a good man is not suitable for management.

But he also has no suitable candidate at hand, so he can only push the other party up. Now it seems that this guy is really reassuring, at least in terms of loyalty.

"Oh! When you say that, I'm a little interested.

Tell me, who is this person? Have I heard of it? ”

"This man's name is Antar Heydrich, he should be about 40 years old this year, a German-Brazilian born in El Salvador, a graduate of the Royal Military Academy of Portugal, starting as a naval gunnery and working his way up to the captain of the cruiser Rio Grande de Doso.

Before Brazil joined World War II, because of the opponent's German identity, he was transferred to the Navy Training Service to serve as an idle position.

But, as far as I know, the reason for his transfer had nothing to do with his German identity, but because someone had gone the way of the former Admiralty and wanted to be the captain of the cruiser Rio Grande de Dodoso.

So, he was replaced. ”

This made Fang Lang a little crying and laughing, who was the original Minister of the Navy, Fang Lang only heard his name, but did not see him. But the person who can be almost overtaken by General Crook should be a mediocre guy in Fang Lang's mind.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party actually transferred the captain of the cruiser to an idle post because he received benefits and let people take the position.

Obviously, this Antar Heydrich did not give a gift to Mr. Minister of the Navy!

As for the ability of this Antar Heydrich, from Adams Titch's words, Fang Lang can't draw conclusions, but since he has the ability to serve as the captain of a cruiser in his thirties, he should still have some ability.

Otherwise, Adams Titch should not have recommended the other party to himself, but these words obviously could not satisfy Fang Lang.

Glancing at Adams Titch with a somewhat strange expression, Fang Lang asked suspiciously:

"Why would you want to recommend this person? Just because he is an idle job now, is it easy to handle? ”

Hearing this, Adams Titch waved his hand again and again:

"Of course not, in fact, this guy seems to me to be a bit rigid, straightforward, and not very flexible. But I have to say that he is a really capable person, and almost everyone does not like to associate with him.

But no one has ever dared to say that he can't do it, as long as he is given a clear instruction, he will be able to complete it perfectly.

You also know the situation in the Brazilian army, and it is simply impossible to get promoted without colluding with your superiors. But this guy is an exception.

How so? If I had to give him an evaluation, I think he was a real soldier. ”
