General Nairo Mora turned his head to Fang Lang and barely squeezed out a smile, nodded, turned around and pushed open the small door of the balcony, and walked quickly into the lively banquet hall.

In this regard, Fang Lang just smiled and stopped paying attention.

To say that the impact of this matter is definitely not only this, but for himself, the benefits have been realized, and he really has little interest in participating in the rest of the fight.

With his understanding of General Crook, the other party will definitely find a way to expand the influence of the navy, and it will definitely be eyeing next year's military budget.

These current Fang Lang are not interested in participating too much, after all, if the navy's military spending really increases now, even if his fleet does not share any benefits, his shipyard will definitely be able to gain some benefits.

It stands to reason that he should stand up and support his own Navy Minister, but in the current Navy, his power is already big enough, plus this expansion to 5,000 Marines.

If he continues to rush upward, his comrades-in-arms in the navy will think that he is not greedy enough, and he will want to pull something into his arms, which will backfire and make his comrades-in-arms dissatisfied.

Therefore, his low profile is the king now.

Just when he wanted to hide here after putting a fire in the heart of General Nairo Mora of the Air Force, someone soon came up again, but the person who came over this time can be regarded as his own person.

The new Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy, Colonel Adams Titch, has long been paying attention to Fang Lang's whereabouts, and with the relationship between the two, he does not need to deliberately approach at the banquet, but this time he still wants to express his gratitude to Fang Lang in person.

"Haha.... General Fang, it turns out that you are hiding here. ”

Hearing the voice behind him, Fang Lang smiled, stood up and shook hands with the other party and said:

"Brother Tichy, why don't you make more friends in there, why did you come to me!"

While shaking hands with Fang Lang, Adams Titch, who was smiling all over his face, listened to Fang Lang's words, took a step closer and lowered his voice:

"Didn't you come here to thank my brother?

Your war exploits came up, but I was sitting in the office, and the credit fell from the sky.

The chief of staff also asked me when I participated in the formulation of your action plan, and I almost showed my stuff. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down and chat. Then he also lowered his voice:

"Since you promised to push my brother to the position of chief of staff of the navy, I naturally have to find a way to give you more credit! How else can you stand out! ”

After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing this, Adams Tiqi hurriedly raised his wine glass, bowed slightly and touched Fang Lang's wine glass, and then said in a low voice:

"I don't thank you for my kindness, in the future, no matter where my brother goes, only my brother will be the first to look forward."

Fang Lang took a sip of the wine glass, and smiled indifferently:

"Everyone is brothers, you don't need to be so clear, you will become the chief of staff of the Navy in the future, and there will be more places for your brother to trouble you!"

In Adams Titch's heart, he has long regarded himself as Fang Lang's person. It's just that in this kind of public place, he is too obvious to be bad, so he pretends to be an affectionate brother, and the brother screams.

If the two of them were private, he would prefer to call Fang Lang the boss, after all, he knew very well that whether he could rise or not depended on the other party's attitude.

And he is just a chess piece arranged by the other party into the staff, as long as he does it well, the things that the other party asks can do.

But Fang Lang's attitude towards him has always made him feel like a spring breeze and treats him as a good friend of the same status, so he has always been very grateful to Fang Lang.

After hearing Fang Lang's words, he was no longer polite, pulled out the chair next to Fang Lang and sat on it, glanced at the banquet hall behind the balcony door, and said in a low voice:

"Just now, the new Secretary of War is secretly competing with General Crook in front of Marshal Moraes! I listened to the other side, as if I wanted to install a few army officers in your Marine Corps. ”

Fang Lang's eyes froze when he heard this, and his face was still cloudy and light:

"This Mr. Secretary of the Army, what you think is quite beautiful."

Adams Titch also smiled when he heard this:

General Crook didn't give him a chance to mix sand, and directly refused the other party.

In front of Marshal Moraes, he said that he was afraid of affecting the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps, but he made the Minister of War very angry. ”

Fang Lang smiled at the corner of his mouth, held the wine glass to his lips, and said quietly:

"And what did Marshal Moraes say?"

"Hey..... His Excellency the Marshal just shook his head and said that this is an expansion, not a new construction, and there is no need to transfer personnel, so that when the navy recruits troops this year, it can directly recruit enough new recruits according to the shortage of soldiers.

It seems that the new Secretary of the Army does not seem to be very satisfied. ”

Adams Titch took a sip with a wicked smile on his face.

Obviously, Marshal Moraes was also very aware of the intentions of the War Department, so he did not hesitate to refuse the other party's proposal.

Hearing this result, Fang Lang also smiled, and at the same time raised his vigilance in his heart.

"In this way, these army generals may not let go so easily. If you hear anything about our fleet at the Admiralty, please let me know as soon as possible.

So I have time to prepare. ”

When Adams Titch heard this, he patted his chest and said:

"You can rest assured that I will report to you as soon as I receive any news about your fleet.

In addition, I am not far from the War Department now, and through this period of contact, I have also met two junior officers of the Army Staff, and if there is any news about us, I will also inform you as soon as possible. ”

In fact, the intelligence department under Fang Lang has long begun to arrange manpower for the army, navy and air force, some of which are used as spies to spy on intelligence.

Some of the grassroots officials who have been inspected and capable are supported by the Investigation Department of Fangyuan Group, so that they can get better promotion opportunities in relevant departments.

When these people grow up, they will be a huge interest group.

Fang Lang's business is so big, and he is reluctant to leave the army, because he knows very well that in an environment like Brazil, the status of the army is very special.

Only when we have military power in our hands can we ensure that no one dares to infringe upon our own interests.

What's more, Brazil had a period of military rule in the original history, and at that time, as long as the Fang family has enough influence in the army, don't say that no one will dare to attack the other family.

If the Fang family doesn't attack them, they will be thankful.

Even, it is not impossible to make the military government a government that serves the Fang family.

Therefore, Fang Lang never dared to relax his infiltration of the army.

Seeing Adams Titch's bold face, Fang Lang smiled and patted the other party's arm and said:

"Good brother, thank you!"

"Since you're a good brother, what kind words do you say, haha....."

Adams Tiqi was very happy to hear Fang Lang call him a good brother, laughed and raised his glass to Fang Lang again.

The two clinked glasses lightly and laughed tacitly.

"How's the destroyer design work you've been following up on lately?"

Next, the two began to enter the small talk mode, and Fang Lang focused on the Navy's special tactical research team during this time, and put down a lot of things about the company.

I can't take care of the progress of the shipyard and the aircraft yard, so I took this opportunity to learn about it from Adams Teach.

"Haha...... Of course, it is very smooth, I have to say, now the strength of your Fangyuan shipyard is really very strong, and the project of the entire destroyer is completed in one month from the project to the complete design drawings.

Of course, according to the words of your shipyard designers, this is copying homework, so there is no difficulty at all.

If it weren't for the space for future modifications based on your requirements, they said it would be done in a little over a week. ”

In this regard, Fang Lang smiled noncommittally, you must know that the current Fangyuan Shipyard, but with the global shipbuilding in the United States, Britain, Germany, and Italy as the technical backing, it is indeed not difficult to produce a destroyer of the US military during World War II.

"Oh! Now that the design has been completed, when will the production of the first ship begin? ”

"The production plan has been determined last Wednesday, and now the shipyard has placed an order for special steel for warships to Fangyuan Iron and Steel Plant, and it is expected that the steel will be in place in the middle of next month.

According to the production plan, our first self-designed destroyer will be launched in mid-March next year. ”

This progress is certainly a little slow compared to the wartime, but it is the first time that Brazil has tried to produce modern all-steel warships, and the team needs to run in, and this speed is acceptable.

Fang Lang nodded when he heard this, and when he saw Adams Titch beside him, he seemed to be very excited when he mentioned this warship, and looked at the other party with some amusement and said:

"What's wrong with you? I feel like you're very happy. ”

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Adams Titch's smile was even more unhidden, and his back molars were about to be exposed.

"Haha...... Of course I was very happy. Although this destroyer is said to be an imitation of the American-made Fletcher class destroyer, after the integration of the designers, the performance of the warship is higher than that of the original Fletcher class.

】

First of all, in terms of power, we also use two steam turbines produced by General Motors, but this model is an upgraded product on the basis of the original Fletcher class, which is more powerful and can bring more power to warships, and the design speed has reached 38 knots.

In terms of protection, the chromium-nickel alloy steel with surface hardening treatment of the Krupp carburizing process is used as the side protective armor, and the main deck armor is made of molybdenum-vanadium alloy steel, and the performance of the steel is 25% higher than that of the original Fletcher class in the United States.

The only pity is that the weapons and equipment are basically the same as those of the Fletcher class. ”

Looking at the other party's somewhat Versailles expression, Fang Lang shook his head with a smile and said:

"Looks like you have a lot of confidence in this destroyer!"

"Where is my confidence in this warship, even Mr. Minister of Defense is very fond of our first self-designed and built warship!

According to General Crook, Marshal Moraes asked that when the warship was launched, he must be notified to be present in person, and he was to witness this great moment with his own eyes.

Brother, speaking of which, I have to thank you again, brother, this work has made my brother show a big face in the entire Admiralty.

The brothers of the other naval bases originally thought that the old brother had made a wrong move, but now? One by one, they all ran over and befriended the old brother, thinking about taking this new ship under their command!

Hey.... I don't want to think about it, my brother is the real hero! At that time, priority will definitely be given to equipping the aircraft carrier formation of my brother! ”

Colonel Adams Teach's joy was beyond words, and Fang Lang couldn't help but be happy when he saw it.

Hearing the other party say that this imitation destroyer should be given priority to equip his fleet, he smiled and waved his hand indifferently:

"This warship brother doesn't have to think about leaving it to our fleet, now that our fleet is already strong, if you continue to give priority to equipping me with all the good things, it will make other naval brothers have opinions."
