After seeing off Colonel Antar Heydrich, Adams Titch stood beside Fang Lang, watched Colonel Antar Heydrich's car leave, looked at Fang Lang with some puzzlement and asked:

"Your Excellency, if Colonel Antar Heydrich comes to your aircraft carrier fleet as deputy chief of staff, what will happen to the prefect of the naval base in about de Janeiro!"

Fang Lang looked at the faint taillights in the distance, and said to Adams Titch beside him with a smile:

"The current Minister of the Navy is Admiral Crook, let's not go too far, it would be a big victory to be able to send you to the Navy Staff first.

As for the prefect of the naval base in Rio de Janeiro, let it be left to General Crook to choose! ”

In the end, Fang Lang still considered the good cooperative relationship with General Crook and gave up the competition for the commander of the naval base in Rio de Janeiro, after all, although this position does not have many troops, it is geographically important, close to the center, and has attracted everyone's attention, and the slightest wind and grass may be infinitely magnified.

This is inconsistent with the goal of obscene development in Fang Lang's heart.

But Adams Titch, as a Westerner, is a little unable to understand Fang Lang's way of thinking, how can this kind of thing back down! Therefore, he couldn't hold back the incomprehension in his heart and continued:

"But when the time comes, if General Crook proposes to arrange a difficult person to come up, we will not be very passive."

Hearing this, Fang Lang turned his head to look at Adams Teach, smiled, patted the other party's shoulder, and motioned to chat on the beach by the sea. Then Fang Lang took the lead and walked towards the beach.

Seeing this, Adams Titch also hurriedly got up and followed.

Fang Lang said as he walked:

"Do you know how many major forces there are in the current navy?"

Hearing Fang Lang's sudden question, Adams Titch was a little dazed, but he still answered truthfully:

"Four forces."

"Tell me, what do you know about the four forces?"

Of course, an old navy like Adams Titch is very clear about this kind of internal power situation in the navy, so he said as he treasured:

"First of all, it must be the forces represented by the Minister of the Admiralty, Admiral Crook, these are some of the emerging factions that have participated in the European war.

Secondly, there were the conservatives, led by Colonel Marcelino Orlando, captain of the battleship Minas Gerais, and others, who were mostly recalcitrant forces influenced by the idea of the naval giant's cannon.

Thirdly, it is a territorial defender who is mainly a local defense force. I belonged to this force. ”

Hearing Adams Tiqi say that he originally belonged to the Soil Defender faction, Fang Lang smiled slightly, understanding what the other party meant, this might be a not-so-close alliance between several of their naval base commanders.

In Fang Lang's opinion, this is not a big force at all. If he really counts it like this, is he also a member of this land defender? After all, he is the commander of the Natal naval base!

"What else? There are only three of them? ”

Thinking about Adams Teach's statement, he found that he only said three forces and stopped, and couldn't help but ask a little puzzled.

Who knew that Adams Titch did look at himself strangely and didn't speak, which made Fang Lang a little dazed. However, he quickly reacted and said helplessly:

"You don't want to say that the fourth force is my aircraft carrier formation!"

Seeing that Fang Lang said it himself, Adams Tiqi also nodded with a smile and said:

"At the moment, you're the most powerful."

Fang Lang glared at the other party angrily and said:

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a fourth-party power, I'm from General Crook's faction. At most, it is a small force under the forces of General Crook. ”

Hearing this, Adams Titch had a ghostly expression on his face, and he didn't know what to say, is there such a powerful small force as you?

Looking at his expression, Fang Lang didn't want to say more to him, but continued to ask:

"You said that a few of you naval base commanders belong to the Territory Defender faction, and I don't feel right! You, I won't talk about it, I heard that Colonel Gnad Berry of the St. Paul Naval Base and General Crook are very close!

Shouldn't he also be in the line of General Crook? ”

After hearing Fang Lang's words, Adams Titch smiled and said:

"Actually, there is no clear boundary between these so-called forces, but I divide them according to their position, their attachment to that chief, and their common interests.

Conservatives such as Colonel Marcelino Orlando, captain of the battleship Minas Gerais, were in fact promoted by the previous Secretary of the Navy.

With the outbreak of World War II and the strong rise of Admiral Crook, the backward tactical thinking of giant ship cannons slowly came to an end, and with the retirement of the previous Minister of the Navy, the influence of this faction became less and less.

And Admiral Crook accepted a new tactical idea in World War II, believing that aircraft carriers are the emerging school of the future, and with the victory of the war, Admiral Crook was promoted to Minister of the Navy, and he is in a state of prosperity.

If we follow this tactical thinking of identity, we have only two factions, you know what I mean? ”

"You mean, Colonel Gnard Berry of the São Paulo Naval Base is tactically minded in his belief that aircraft carriers are the future, so he is close to Admiral Crook.

But at the same time, he is also the commander of the naval base, so he is also a defender, is that what he means? ”

Adams Tichy nodded when he heard this. Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled, shook his head directly, and said:

"Grandpa Mao said it well, there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. You are not right to divide it this way, as I think there should be only two factions, conservatives and emerging factions. The other land-defending factions are just small factions under these two factions.

You have me, I have you, that's normal.

As for me, I must belong to the emerging faction of General Crook, what do you think? ”

Adams Tiqi didn't know who Grandpa Mao was talking about, but he just thought to himself, you said that, what else can I say? could only shrug helplessly and spread his hands.

Seeing this scene, Fang Lang just smiled, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, you are a foreigner, you don't understand anything, this is called a good shade under the big tree.

I don't understand the truth of the tree, but it still depends on the wisdom of our ancestors.

Patting Adams Titch on the shoulder, he continued:

"Then do you know Colonel Gnaud Berry, whose path he took to get promoted?"

This question was obviously beyond the scope of Adams Tic's information, and he shook his head helplessly, with his own experience, promotion in Brazil could not be just a gift to a chief.

After all, in non-war situations, the army is not a word, and it is not who says that you can go to the army. You have to be sensible in the relevant departments and heads to have a chance to sit in this position.

It is not enough to sit in the position, and the annual filial piety must not be less, otherwise it will be ready to be replaced.

As for Colonel Gnad Berry's path and who led it, he could not have known. But since Fang Lang asked, he had to think about it.

Soon, he looked at Fang Lang with some surprise:

"It can't be General Crook, right?"

Fang Lang smiled when he heard this, but did not speak.

Now Adams Titch was really shocked, he didn't expect that this guy Gnad Berry looked so arrogant, he didn't expect it to be so hidden!

】

"What do you think you can recommend Colonel Gnaard Berry to take over as commander of your naval base in Rio de Janeiro?"

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Adams Titch's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Fang Lang meant, since Colonel Gnaud Berry is General Crook's person, then he will definitely not refuse to push the other party to the throne.

He also had a good personal relationship with Colonel Gnad Berry, and it would not do him any harm to have the other party take over his position.

And Colonel Gnad Berry, transferred from the São Paulo naval base to the Rio de Janeiro naval base, although it is a flat transfer, but the location of the capital garrison naval base is obviously more important, and the other side will definitely not refuse.

Adams Titch, who understood this, showed a smile of surprise on his face, looked at Fang Lang and said:

"Your Excellency, I think this idea is very good, and the chances of success are very good. I think I should have had a good chat with Colonel Gnaard Berry first. ”

When Fang Lang heard this, he smiled slightly, it seems that this guy has understood what he means, this is to sell favors to the other party in advance.

"Don't be in a hurry, you'd better recommend one from among those you trust to Colonel Gnard Berry as a successor to the commander of the St. Paul Naval Base."

Now Adams Titch was really a little shocked, it turned out that what Fang Lang wanted was the position of the commander of the São Paulo Navy!

But thinking about it, he was relieved, after all, Fang Lang's hometown is in São Paulo, and most of the industries of Fang Yuan Group are concentrated in São Paulo, although this naval base does not have many troops, it can be regarded as an important location.

There must still be one of your own people watching to rest assured.

It's just that I don't know why Fang Lang didn't choose people by himself, but let him arrange people he trusted.

In fact, Fang Lang's thinking is not so complicated, since he has accepted Adams Titch, it is impossible to let him be alone, and he must also let him have his own henchmen to do things.

At that time, he will definitely form his own force, and what he needs to do is actually to balance the various forces under his command.

Seeing Adams Titch's somewhat hesitant expression, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"It's just a recommendation, and it doesn't always work. How can you say that you are also the chief of staff of the Navy, how can you not have your own manpower? ”

Hearing this, Adams Titch was overjoyed, this is the boss who is allowing himself to properly cultivate his own power!

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Although Fang Lang said that he may not succeed, he believes that the boss will definitely not let it go, not to mention the location of the São Paulo naval base, which is even more important to Fang Lang than the Rio de Janeiro base.

He would not give up easily, according to Adams Titch's thoughts, the reason why Fang Lang asked himself to recommend Colonel Gnaard Berry to take his position may also be for the position of the commander of the São Paulo Naval Base.

The two ended the topic knowingly, and after chatting for a while about other gossip, Adams Titch proposed to resign, and Fang Lang sent the other party away with a smile on his face.

In the next half month, as Adams Titch thought, the Admiralty announced a series of personnel appointments and dismissals.

Unexpectedly, he himself became the deputy chief of staff of the Admiralty, which was obviously a surprise for him who was only ready to do an idle job.

Then came Colonel Gnad Berry, who took over as commander of his naval base in Rio de Janeiro, and his own close lieutenant, who he recommended, was also directly promoted to the rank of commander of the naval base in São Paulo.

Compared to this series of major personnel changes, the transfer of Colonel Antar Heydrich to the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier fleet to the post of deputy chief of staff is somewhat insignificant.
