Early in the morning, Fang Lang was woken up by the sound of heavy rain outside the window, got up from the bed a little helplessly, walked to the side of the bed and opened the curtains, and saw that it was dark outside, and the entire window was covered by a thick rain curtain, and a faint light passed through the dark clouds and projected on the sea in the distance, reminding people that it was already dawn.

Through this ray of light, you can see the huge waves on the sea, the palm trees outside the door swaying by the wind of heavy rain, and the huge fallen leaves on the ground.

Obviously, this is not a simple heavy rain, but a small typhoon.

In fact, there are very few typhoons in Brazil, and according to the knowledge of geography, it is because the subtropical high in the South Atlantic Ocean is strong, so the wind shear in the southern hemisphere is very strong, and it is not easy to form typhoons.

In the many years of experience of seafarers in the later generations of Israel, it is almost rare to hear of typhoons in Brazil. Therefore, this time I was caught off guard by this sudden typhoon weather.

It can also be regarded as "people don't keep customers, and people keep customers every day".

Fang Lang has been isolated in the Navy Club for two days by this typhoon, and he was ready to return to Natal Naval Base by plane after negotiating with Adams Tich the day before yesterday.

However, due to the typhoon, the flight was suspended. In this case, it is even more impossible to travel by boat, and the only way to get back to Natal is by land transport, i.e. by car and train.

In typhoon days, the safety of the car cannot be guaranteed. The train line to Natal was built along the coastline, so unfortunately the train traffic was also affected.

Therefore, Fang Lang could only be forced to stay at the Navy Club in Rio de Janeiro by the typhoon weather.

sighed lightly, shook his head helplessly, and was thinking about whether to go to the gym to boxing and exercise his body. The phone in the room rang suddenly, which made Fang Lang a little strange, so he turned his hand to the phone and picked up the phone casually.

"Hello, I'm Fang Lang."

The voice on the phone was very surprising.

"Haha...... General Fang, I heard that you were stranded in Rio de Janeiro by a typhoon, right? ”

"Haha...... It turned out to be General Mora,

Alas! Who's to say it isn't? This kind of weather, which has been rare for several years, was actually encountered by me. ”

The caller turned out to be the Minister of the Air Force, General Nairo Mora, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"That's right, I've always wanted to make an appointment with you, you're very busy, it's rare that you're free now, do you want to come to me for tea?"

Fang Lang's sudden invitation from the Minister of the Air Force surprised Fang Lang, and he was not at all surprised that the other party knew that he was in Rio de Janeiro, after all, he had to go to the Navy Headquarters almost every day for the past week.

It's just that I don't know why the other party suddenly invited me. But soon he had some guesses, after all, there were only a few things about himself and him.

Turning his head to look out the window, the beam of sunlight piercing the dark clouds and piercing the sky, it is estimated that the typhoon will soon pass. After thinking about it, he didn't excuse himself, and replied directly:

"Haha.... Thank you very much for the invitation, it is my honor!

I don't know when you're available. ”

Hearing Fang Lang's direct agreement, the other side was obviously very happy, and said heartily:

"Haha....... Have tea with General Fang, I am free at any time, if it is convenient for General Fang, I will send a car to pick you up now. ”

Although it was a typhoon day, the sea water has receded significantly today, and the situation I saw yesterday was that the roads were already flooded. Therefore, Fang Lang understood that the other party had already confirmed the weather conditions before inviting him.

It seems that the other party's sincerity is very sufficient! smiled and declined the other party's idea of sending a car, and replied directly:

"Haha..... General Mora is too polite, there is no need to send a car, I have a car here. When the rain is a little lighter, I'll visit your office. ”

When the other party heard this, he also laughed, and said directly:

"Then I'll be in the office, waiting for General Fang's arrival."

Through several contacts with this general Nairo Mora, Fang Lang has a very good impression of this general, at least compared to most Brazilian generals who are full of belly, this general can be regarded as having culture and fighting records.

He received a full set of air force knowledge training in the United States, and led his soldiers to participate in World War II, which can be regarded as a rare talent.

I don't know if both sides have American backgrounds, Fang Lang feels that the other party is very close to him. Judging from the other party's support for his airline's independent research and development of trainer aircraft, he should also be a very strategic general.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Lang raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and found that it was still early, and although the wind and rain outside had weakened, it had not stopped, so he was not in a hurry to set off.

Instead, after washing up, I went downstairs to the gym to stand on the pile, practice boxing, and practice myself until I was sweating profusely before returning to my room to take a shower. By the time all this was done, the wind and rain outside had gradually subsided.

Fang Langcai unhurriedly changed into his military uniform, and under the escort of the guards, drove to the Air Force Command near the Brazilian Ministry of Defense.

Along the way, although the wind and rain have subsided, the typhoon still caused a lot of damage to Rio de Janeiro, a place rarely visited by typhoons.

The road was full of standing water and many trees were broken, so it was a very difficult journey.

Brazil is different from the hometown of later generations, and there are soldiers who will appear in various disaster-stricken areas to provide relief, so it can only be solved by the local people.

Fortunately, although this time it was considered a typhoon, I did not see many houses collapsing along the way, which reduced the probability of casualties.

It's no wonder that Rio de Janeiro will be called the City of God in later generations, and it is hard not to think that God is blessing them with such a long coastline and only a typhoon occurs once in a few years.

In addition, even if a typhoon is formed, it is easy for wind shear to reduce the power of the typhoon.

This typhoon will be recorded in the history of Brazil, after all, there is a phenomenon of broken branches on the road, which means that the wind must be not small.

I just don't know if my company has suffered losses.

Along the way, Fang Lang was thinking about some messy things, and when the convoy finally came downstairs to the Air Force Headquarters, Fang Lang raised his hand and saw that the time had come to half past ten.

Shaking his head helplessly, Fang Lang tidied up his military uniform, and got out of the car from the open door, Qi Qingshan was already standing by the car door with an umbrella.

Seeing the situation, he wanted to hold an umbrella for Fang Lang, Fang Lang smiled when he saw this, took the umbrella from the other party's hand casually, and motioned for himself to come. This kind of trivial Fang Lang does not like to protend others.

Unless, there is a safety risk, and when the guards use black umbrellas to block the view of outsiders, they will ask others to hold umbrellas for themselves, otherwise, Fang Lang will do it himself when he can do it himself.

】

Of course, Qi Qingshan knew Fang Lang's habits, so he didn't say anything, just followed behind Fang Lang with another umbrella.

Fang Lang, who had just taken the umbrella, looked up and found that there were already several people waiting at the door of the Air Force Headquarters, and the leader of them was General Neiro Mora, the Minister of the Air Force, and he didn't know how long the other party had been waiting here.

This made Fang Lang immediately feel very embarrassed, the dignified Minister of the Air Force personally greeted him at the door, what a lot of respect this is! In an instant, Fang Lang felt unprecedented attention.

It also made Fang Lang's heart feel a trace of apprehension, this can't be some excessive requirements waiting for him!

Fang Lang, who didn't have time to think about it, took two steps quickly, saluted a military salute from a distance, and then walked forward quickly, grabbed the right hand of General Nairo Mora, who had just put down the military salute, and explained busily:

"Your Excellency, General, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!

I didn't expect this weather to be so harmful, the roads became very bad, and the vehicles were very difficult to travel. ”

General Nairo Mora laughed, and gave Fang Lang a big hug unconcernedly.

"This is a rare typhoon in Brazil, and I haven't seen it a few times when I'm this old. If it weren't for the weather, we wouldn't know when we would have had the chance to meet again!

Besides, I didn't have to wait long. You're here at just the right time. ”

Fang Lang felt very comfortable with the other party's enthusiasm, and I have to say that the other party is really good at dealing with people, and people can't say a word at all.

After a brief greeting between the two, General Nairo Mora introduced Fang Lang to the people who came out with him to greet him.

Most of these senior generals of the Air Force are only colonel-level officers, but Fang Lang does not dare to take them lightly, after all, these people can be regarded as the first generation of veterans of the Brazilian Air Force, and if nothing else, the future prospects are limitless.

After getting to know each other, they entered the office building of the Air Force Department under the leadership of General Nairo Mora.

Compared to the office buildings of the Army and Navy, the office space of the Air Department is significantly smaller. After all, the Brazilian Air Force is not much different in size from the number of aircraft in his aircraft carrier fleet.

Even, there are about shortcomings in the types of aircraft. I guess this is also the reason why the Minister of the Air Force is so affectionate towards him! I wonder if the other party still wants to bring the aviation in his hands under the management of the Air Force!

During this period, it was not uncommon for everyone to be as clear about the use of aircraft as in later generations, and the current US Air Force had the idea of eating naval aviation in one bite.

Therefore, the more warm and polite the other party was, the more vigilant Fang Lang's heart became. The other party said that he invited him to his office for tea, and as a result, he got a large number of air force officers to receive him, how could he not be vigilant.

With vigilance, Fang Lang quietly followed everyone into the Air Force Department building.

Soon, everyone came to a conference room of the Air Force Department with laughter and laughter, Fang Lang looked up and saw the words conference room written on the door, and hurriedly pretended not to understand:

"General Mora's office here?"

Nairo Mora was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Fang Lang, and then at the group of air force officers who were following him, and couldn't help laughing, and after a while, he stopped laughing and said:

"Haha.... General Fang, don't get me wrong! We don't mean anything else.

Originally, I wanted to invite you to my office for tea and chat. But when the chiefs of staff heard that you were coming, they all said that they wanted to get to know you and communicate casually.

You can rest assured, the thing we want to communicate is mainly about the issue of entrusting Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company to manufacture aircraft. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang carefully looked at the other party's expression and saw that the other party had a calm face. He turned his head to look at the other Air Force officers, and saw that there were no other expressions on their faces. It's a sigh of relief.

If it was really about aircraft manufacturing, of course Fang Lang would not have any problems, after all, this was also taking care of his own business!
