The news that the Eddie Brothers rebels had been wiped out by the forces led by Admiral Admiral in three days naturally reached the ears of General Nairo Mora of the Air Ministry.

Among them, what shocked him the most was naturally that Fang Lang pulled out forty bombers at one time to carpet bomb the enemy. and the use of transport aircraft to quickly collapse the movement of troops in the region.

This made him even more eager to hope that his air force could form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and that the transport aircraft and bomber formations under his command could be formed as soon as possible.

Upon learning of this bombing operation, Fang Lang borrowed a group of cadets from the aviation school, which made him look forward to the students of the aviation school.

He was not surprised at all that Fang Lang was able to achieve such a result, after all, when Lieutenant General Crook suddenly took the initiative to ask for war at the meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

Of course, the enemy that the army hadn't solved for half a year was solved by Fang Lang within three days, and he was still deeply shocked.

At the same time, this battle further strengthened his idea of establishing an airborne force exclusively under the Air Force.

Naturally, the people also got the news quickly, and the Brazilian Times even gave a huge page to announce the victory of the war to the world. The TV station also made a detailed report.

However, in this report, the media company under the Fangyuan Group did not excessively publicize the time comparison between the Navy and the Army, but only told everyone that it was the Navy's Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group that achieved this great victory.

The purpose is naturally to reduce the confrontation between the navy and the army as much as possible, and avoid attracting new enemies to their bosses.

While the outside world was amazed by Fang Lang's achievements, Fang Lang himself was inspecting the town of Bittenkot, which had been occupied by the rebels, although the main force stationed in the town at this time was the army troops.

But as the new front-line commander, Fang Lang naturally has the right to inspect these towns that were once occupied by the rebels.

Because they are ruled by the rebels and recruited troops here, many of the town's residents are very wary of the government forces, not that they choose to side with the rebels.

It is because their families inevitably become part of the rebels, whether voluntarily or coerced. And most of them were killed in the operation of the government forces.

This inevitably led to a part of the hostility of the townspeople towards the government forces.

The Brazilian government army is not the homeland army of later generations, and it has no will and responsibility to help the local people resume production.

So, the town of Bittenkot, which had been through the big war, was actually very dilapidated, and there were still a lot of bullet holes in the houses that had been hit by shells and bullets, which had not been filled.

There are also traces of wooden houses being burned down, which have not been erased.

And the person who accompanied Fang Lang to inspect was not an official of the army, but Fang Xinshui, the hall master of Hongmen Hongyi Hall, Fang Lang's uncle.

"Lang'er, what did you ask me to come to this place to investigate?

There aren't many people here! ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"Uncle is right, there is not much population here, but there are abundant resources here!

Look at the dense primeval jungle here, these thousands of years of tall trees, these are real resources. ”

"Oh! Do you want our company to come here for a timber business?

But there are a lot of forestry resources downstream, so why go deep into the Amazon River and come to this humble town? ”

When Fang Lang heard his uncle's words, he didn't give an answer immediately, but smiled and said:

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm also here to investigate, since this place has been beaten down by us, of course we have to exert enough influence here!"

As he spoke, he patted the door of Willis Jeep and pointed to the dilapidated buildings around him:

"Look at the ruined surroundings, most of the families here have family members who have joined the rebels, and now the rebels have been wiped out by us. This has created some estrangement between the local population and the Brazilian government.

If these divisions are not bridged, the inhabitants of these two places may give birth to a new army of rebels.

That's what I don't want to see. ”

After Fang Xinshui heard Fang Lang's words, he frowned and said with some puzzlement:

"Even if a new rebel team appears, it won't have much impact on you! Maybe it can provide you with some new opportunities for meritorious service! ”

Fang Lang smiled and pointed to the Yapura River not far away:

"Do you know where this river goes all the way up?"

"Of course you know, it's Colombia over there."

"Then do you know what Colombia has to offer?"

This question obviously asked Fang Xinshui's knowledge blind spot, and he glanced at his nephew sitting beside him with some puzzlement, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly:

"I don't really know about these things, but I kind of get what you mean. You want us to build a hall here and find a way to get some Colombian specialties, right? ”

Seeing his uncle react so quickly, he had to be impressed by him, it seems that after such a long time of training, his uncle's growth is very fast!

Smiled and nodded:

"Uncle is right, Colombia is the world's most important emerald gemstone producing region, and the mines in these producing areas are mainly concentrated in the central Andes Mountains in Colombia.

As for the specific location of the gem mine, I don't know, but I know that the local mining enterprises, except for a few regular companies in Europe and the United States, are more illegal mining by local people.

Illegal mining is within the scope of the local government's crackdown, so these local gems can only be taken away at a relatively low price.

After these gems are polished, they become expensive luxury goods sought after by the ladies of high society in Europe.

The profit gap in the middle can make people crazy. Do you see what I mean? ”

When Fang Xinshui heard this, he looked at his nephew with a shocked face, and after swallowing his saliva with difficulty, he said:

"I see, do you want our Hong Yitang to get involved in this business as a gang?"

Feeling his uncle's gaze, Fang Lang just smiled and nodded:

"If it weren't for the fight against this rebel team, I wouldn't know that there was such a big source of wealth hidden here."

As he spoke, he took out an emerald gem the size of a pigeon's egg from his pocket and threw it to his uncle beside him.

Because Willis Jeep was walking on the muddy streets of the town, the body kept shaking, so that Fang Xinshui, who didn't notice Fang Lang's movements, almost didn't catch this gem.

Fortunately, his hand was not bad, and he reacted in time, and he was able to take the gem when it was about to land.

I took the gem in my hand and played with it, and after carefully examining it in the sun for a while, I said with an amazed face:

"What a beautiful little baby! I remember visiting a jewelry store in São Paulo with your aunt and a gemstone that was less than a quarter of the little one's worth was priced at $10,000.

It is not known what he is worth in the mining area. ”

Fang Lang smiled and didn't speak, but stretched out a palm and shook it at his uncle.

Fang Xinshui looked at Fang Lang in disbelief and said:

"It won't be just five hundred dollars!"

"No, the rough purchase price is fifty dollars."

"Damn, I've done this business. When I got back, I started to organize people, come here and set up a base, and then try to find a way into Colombia to find out what was going on. ”

After knowing that this gem had such a high profit, Fang Xinshui said directly without hesitation.

Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, if you want to build a stronghold here, there is another very important prerequisite, that is, we must have a sufficient mass base.

Now the residents of this neighborhood are not of the same mind as us, and if they don't jump out and cause sabotage, I will burn high incense.

What's more, I don't want you to be involved in the raw ore sales, but I'm going to open a gem trading center here and recruit enough gem processing workers to make this a gem distribution center.

And your Hongyitang controls this channel by taking control of this gem distribution center.

As for the hard work such as the specific gem trafficking, let's leave it to someone else! ”

Fang Xinshui was playing with the emerald pigeon egg gem in his hand, while thinking about Fang Lang's words, obviously, the other party didn't want to let himself fall too deep, but only wanted to master the shipping channel of gemstones.

However, he didn't understand why they would attract others to trade gemstones if they couldn't get the raw materials to be sourced.

If others don't come, their gemstone hub may become a joke by then.

Just when he wanted to say his doubts, Fang Lang seemed to have expected it:

"You don't have to worry that they don't come here to trade, as far as I've heard, there are already a lot of people here who are engaged in the transportation business.

The first thing we have to do is to migrate here, turn this place into our territory, and build hotels and hostels here to provide them with food and beverage services.

Then gather intel to find these gem smugglers, gather them, and let them trade in our designated places according to our rules.

If someone doesn't want to play by our rules, I'll arrange for a professional to strike at them in a targeted manner.

This is a game where those who go along and those who go against it die, and only those who follow the rules of the game can survive. ”

Fang Lang's words once again refreshed Fang Xinshui's cognition, is this the way to play with a powerful machine?

"You mean just let the police do it?"

"Of course, cracking down on illegal smuggling and other crimes is the duty of the police, isn't it?"

Looking at Fang Lang's expression of course, Fang Xinshui swallowed his saliva, not knowing how to comment for a while.

"What if they just don't go our way?"

Fang Lang looked at his uncle who was a little dumbfounded, and said with a slight smile:

"It's a simple matter of cost, and the purpose of our gemstone distribution center is to buy relatively cheap rough from them.

It's not about robbing them of their gems.

If they take the gems to our distribution center to sell, although the selling price is lower than the sales price they ship out directly, it is absolutely safe.

And if they want to avoid our gem hubs, they run the risk of chickens and eggs.

But when the risks and benefits are not proportional, smart people make wise choices. ”

Fang Xinshui still said with some incomprehension:

"But in this way, won't we be able to maximize our profits?"

Fang Lang smiled and took out a cigar, handed it to his uncle beside him, and said:

"Don't focus on the interests of individual gemstones, we want the interests of the whole market, we want scale.

When the time comes, all the smuggled emerald gems that come from Colombia to Brazil will come to us and we will get a share of the profit on each gemstone, and if you think about it, what a business it will be.

More importantly, do you know how many people this business can feed? ”

At this moment, Fang Xinshui finally understood what Fang Lang was thinking, and after thinking about it carefully, he had to nod in admiration again.
