Chapter 559: The position of the Director
Fu Bo, who had been standing on the side, saw Fang Lang's happy eyes when he checked the tea set, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, which he had specially collected from his hometown.
As early as when he heard that his new boss was a person who liked kung fu tea, he began to help collect these tea sets and sell them in the name of Fangyuan Group in his hometown, which was of course very easy to obtain.
There are far more precious tea sets in the garden than a few sets here, and in order to keep them, Fubo has arranged a special room for storage.
"Mr. Fang, this is the mountain spring water that we found from a spring in the back mountain, and it can be directly drunk after testing, do you think we can use this water to make tea?"
Fauber raised his hand and pointed to a wooden bucket beside him, which was filled with a bucket of clear spring water and a small bamboo scoop floating on it.
"Oh! Do we still have drinkable mountain spring water on the mountain by the sea? That's great, let's try it with this water to make tea today. β
Fang Lang could see that Fu Bo was either a tea lover like himself, or he had studied his own preferences, so the arrangement was just right, which made Fang Lang feel very comfortable.
Hearing that Fang Lang directly agreed to his suggestion, Fu Bo also seemed very happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to take out a small red clay stove from under the tea table and put it in the corner of the tea table.
He added some olive kernel-like charcoal, poured alcohol on it, put a brand new clay pot on the tea table, turned around and brought the bucket over, and scooped most of the mountain spring water from the bucket spoonful by spoon with a delicate long-handled water ladle made of bamboo.
Only then did the clay pot be placed on the small red clay pot that had been burned red with small charcoal.
Seeing the other party's set of actions, Fang Lang knew that the other party was also an old tea guest who often drank tea, if it wasn't for today's situation, he really wanted to leave the other party to drink tea together.
"Haha...... Fauber, you've done a great job! You don't need to wait here, you can arrange for someone to notify us when the meal is ready! β
Fang Lang said and pointed to a few mahogany stools in front of the tea table, and motioned for Sirio Leitch and Blake Weir to sit down.
Fu Bo also knew that Fang Lang was going to talk about business, so he hurriedly nodded slightly and said:
"Then let's not bother Mr. Fang for now."
As he spoke, he pointed to the small box that a servant had put on the tea table:
"This is a tea for you, I don't know your taste, there are three kinds of black tea and green tea, there are labels on it, you can see for yourself what kind of drink you like."
Looking at the delicate locket pointed to by Fu Bo, Fang Lang's eyes lit up, this bright color, the small box with complex patterns on it was obviously not made of wood, picked up and weighed it slightly in his hand, the weight was moderate, it should be a legendary lacquerware.
The box is divided into six compartments, and each compartment has a small tea box wrapped in kraft paper, on which are attached small labels written with a brush, which are Da Hong Pao, Qi Men Hong, Pu'er, Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, and Taiping Houkui.
Fang Lang is a tea drinker who likes black tea, but when he saw a rare Taiping monkey kui suddenly appear in these common teas, he was also interested.
In his previous life, he had heard of this Taiping Monkey Kui, which is said to be the best of the sharp tea, and there was a saying that "the monkey Kui is pointed at both ends, not scattered, not warped, and not curled", but in his previous life, he had not tasted tea.
Seeing it here this time, it can be regarded as a joy to see the hunt, took it out of the lacquer box, and said to Sirio Leitch and Blackwell:
"I've only heard of this Taiping Monkey Kui before, and I haven't had a chance to try it yet! Or let's try it today. β
Fang Lang is the boss, and they have already spoken, and the two of them are naturally casual guests, so it is not good to say anything. They all nodded again and again.
Blackwell obviously rarely drinks tea, and he doesn't know much about it, so he smiled directly:
"You're the boss, you have the final say, I can drink anything."
Fang Lang was polite, and seeing that the two of them had no opinions, he directly unpacked the Taiping Houkui package and revealed the tea inside.
and said to Fu Bo, who had not yet left:
"Fauber, go get busy! We'll do the rest ourselves. β
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Fauber bowed slightly to Fang Lang with a smile on his face, and nodded at Sirio Leitch and Blackwell and said:
"Sir, you are busy, the villain has retired first, and you can command at any time if you need anything."
With that, he turned and left.
Cirio Leitch and Blackwell both nodded to Fauber before sitting down at the tea table.
Fang Lang was holding a tea can and sniffing it on the tip of his nose, smelling the fragrance of the tea leaves, and after the two of them sat down, they began to make tea skillfully.
Sirio Leitch has long been familiar with this set of moves, and it is no wonder that even now he himself has been under the influence of Fang Lang and often makes tea in the office. Blackwell, however, was slightly surprised and was watching Fang Lang's movements with interest.
"I heard Blackwell say that you don't seem ready to continue working in the Brazilian Intelligence Agency?"
Fang Lang's hands kept moving, and he had already begun to talk about business.
Blackwell, who was watching Fang Lang's movements, heard this, nodded with a wry smile and said:
"With this idea, I didn't have much interest in intelligence work, and now that the intelligence bureau is in this situation, I did have the idea of changing positions."
Seeing that Blackwell did not hide it, Fang Lang continued to move on without raising his head, and said unhurriedly:
"Are there many people in your bureau who think the same way as you?"
"Our director has already begun to work in the Ministry of Defense and is ready to be transferred back to the General Staff, what do you say?"
"Since everyone is thinking about leaving, I think this is an opportunity! You're still only a major, and you can't get a good position out of the Intelligence Bureau.
Why not just step forward and take over the position of intelligence chief? In this case, there should be no resistance to competing for this position! β
Fang Lang's words made Blackwell stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem. Fang Lang's meaning is very clear, let him take this opportunity to take a step up and take the position of the director of intelligence, how to say that this is also at the level of lieutenant colonel.
Leaving directly from the Intelligence Bureau is at most a major, but if he takes the initiative to go up, he may become a lieutenant colonel, which is really a rare opportunity for him.
After all, it's peacetime, and the chances of getting promoted are already scarce, and if the intelligence bureau is not disbanded so quickly, it is not impossible to use this director as a springboard!
Seeing Blackwell deep in thought, Fang Lang didn't speak, and continued to brew tea unhurriedly, while Sirio Leitch on the side looked at the steaming crockpot on the small red clay stove as if he hadn't heard anything.
When Fang Lang poured the boiling water from the crockpot into the Sancai bowl, his eyes also moved, as if he was a student who had come to learn how to make tea.
"You mean, the Intelligence Agency wasn't that easy to dissolve?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"The Brazilian Intelligence Agency is the only regular intelligence agency in Brazil, how can it be directly abolished!"
"Aren't there Americans who can provide us with intelligence now?"
Hearing the other party's words, Fang Lang felt that this guy was naΓ―ve, but he was not suitable to say the sinister intentions of the Americans.
"The Americans only said that they would share the information they had obtained about Brazil, and they did not say that they asked us to dismantle the Brazilian Intelligence Agency!"
"Ugh! I haven't really said this, but now many of the generals of the Wehrmacht are proposing to cut the funding of the Intelligence Agency! β
"Cutting costs and abolishing the Intelligence Bureau are two different things!
Besides, Defense Secretary Marshal Moraes is not a short-sighted man. The reason why the funds of the Intelligence Agency are now being reduced is simply because the Brazilian army participated in the European war and saw the cruelty of the European war and the combat effectiveness of advanced equipment.
Therefore, there is a fear of advanced equipment and wants to desperately make up for the shortcomings in this regard. Only then did most of the military spend on arms procurement.
But sooner or later, this situation will pass, not to say completely better, but it will definitely slowly return to normal. β
Not to mention having the memory of future generations, knowing that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency will not be abolished, based on what Fang Lang himself sees now, it is impossible for the Brazilian Intelligence Agency to be easily abolished.
Now that the CIA of the Americans has just been established, many of the Harimians in Brazil who are superstitious about everything in the United States will never feel that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency is a useless department.
It would be suggested that the Brazilian intelligence agency should be brought on par with the CIA, but the military would certainly not allow its own intelligence services to be placed under the government's purview, like the CIA.
Now the situation within the Brazilian Intelligence Agency is more groundless and self-defeating.
Of course, from another point of view, as an intelligence agency, in fact, the more low-key and concealed, the better, and only the eyes hidden in the dark can see a lot of hidden things.
If the Ministry of Defense really increases its investment in the Brazilian Intelligence Agency now, so that the position of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency in the National Defense Force is very important, and the CIA will be targeting them.
When the time comes, the Americans will definitely find a way to intervene, whether it is bribing or co-opting, pressuring the top level to get the intelligence bureau to cooperate with the operation, or even infiltrating the intelligence bureau in the name of helping the Brazilian intelligence agency train professional intelligence personnel.
None of them are what Fang Lang wants to see, which means that the intelligence bureau may be used as cannon fodder by the CIA to pull out and fill the pit.
Fang Lang's words obviously dispelled Blackwell's worries about the future of the Intelligence Bureau, and the worry on his face was swept away.
"That's right! How could I not have thought of it! If that's the case, the position of the head of the intelligence bureau is really a good choice. β
Then he sighed a little bitterly and said:
"Alas! However, I really have no interest in intelligence work, and I have no talent, and I have not achieved any outstanding results after staying in the bureau for so long.
If this continues, the whole person will slowly become decadent. β
From these words, Fang Lang can hear that the other party really has no intention of continuing to work in the Intelligence Bureau, even if you stay, at most you will use the Intelligence Bureau as a springboard.
Moreover, Fang Lang also heard some hidden meanings from the other party, that is, he wanted to let himself help him to carry out activities, but Fang Lang didn't mind this, after all, there were many friends and many roads.
He and Blackwell were already good friends, and they had a relationship with Adams Titch, who also provided him with a lot of help after entering the Intelligence Bureau. Such a friend, of course, will not mind if he offers some help to the other party.
But if the other party wants to leave the Brazilian Intelligence Agency now, it is obviously not in Fang Lang's interests, and he also needs the other party to pave the way for Sirio Reich's development in the Intelligence Bureau.
"I see what you mean! Since you are bent on leaving the Intelligence Agency, it is not impossible.
Everyone is brothers, I won't hide some words, you are only a major now, and it is difficult to get an ideal position when you come out.
As I said earlier, if you can take advantage of the chaos in the current intelligence bureau and take the position of intelligence chief, you have a chance to move up one rank. When you become a lieutenant colonel and then come out of the intelligence bureau, you will definitely get a better position than a major, what do you think! β
Fang Lang said as he handed the freshly brewed tea to Blackwell, who nodded when he heard this, obviously agreeing with Fang Lang's opinion.
After receiving the tea, Sirio Leitch on the side habitually tapped the tea table with his hand, and Blackwell on the side glanced at the other party inexplicably.
Sirio Reich smiled and nodded when he saw the other party's gaze.
"The reason why I asked Sirio Reich to ask you about this time, I believe you must understand that you are my brother, and Sirio Reich is still the brother you introduced to me.
In Natal, Sirio Reich has been very helpful to me, and I have come here to ask you to give your brother a hand within the Intelligence Agency.
Since this is the case in the Intelligence Bureau now, I believe that it should not be difficult for my brother to be transferred to the Intelligence Bureau. With Sirio Reich's talent in intelligence work, you may be able to make two contributions to the position of director.
When you leave the Intelligence Bureau again, you will be promoted through meritorious service, and you will definitely be transferred to a better department. What do you think? β
Blackwell wasn't clear about what Fang Lang said was about Sirio Leitch's talent.
But Fang Lang is his brother, and he believes that the other party will not harm him. Moreover, from Fang Lang's words, he could also feel that the other party already had his own complete plan.
Although, I don't know why Fang Lang would want to recommend Sirio Leitch to the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau, as a brother, it is normal for him to provide some help if he can.
Moreover, Fang Lang is willing to run for Sirio Leitch's work, does it mean that when he needs it in the future, the other party will also run for him!
"It seems that the Leitch brothers are very capable of working! Unexpectedly won the approval of General Fang, then what else is there to say, what position does the Leitch brothers fancie, just tell me, I will help you operate. β
Blackwell's brisk was unexpected.
When Sirio Leitch heard this, he smiled a little reservedly:
"It's all the two chiefs who are well led, and I obey the chief's arrangement for work."
This time, Sirio Leitch did not call Fang Lang boss, although Blackwell is Fang Lang's brother, but the other party is also the head of the Intelligence Bureau, even if he doesn't like the work of the Intelligence Bureau, he can more or less learn some intelligence knowledge in the Intelligence Bureau.
If he knew that he had been loyal to General Fang, it would be a mistake to make trouble, and this time Fang Lang did not explain to him what department he wanted to arrange for him to enter and what work he was responsible for, if Blackwell asked him to mention it himself, he didn't know what to mention, and he was worried that it would affect General Fang's plan.
As a subordinate, he believed that General Fang would not treat him badly, and he just had to obey orders and listen to commands.
