This time, Fang Lang invited Air Force Minister General Nairo Mora to dinner, just to get to know several Air Force officers with deep backgrounds through his connections.

But because I am not familiar with these people, it is obviously not appropriate to invite each other directly to my home, so I chose to entertain each other at the Navy Club.

The Navy Club is now his territory, and the guests here have more or less had a few encounters with him, a powerful figure in the Navy, and they all respect him very much, and when they saw him standing at the door waiting for the guests, they took the initiative to greet him, and he also responded to everyone very politely.

About five or six minutes later, five cars slowly stopped at the entrance of the Navy Club, and when the cars stopped, the passenger seat of each car quickly ran down the ensign officer and came to the left rear side door to open the door.

Five middle-aged men in civilian clothes slowly walked down from the car, and after just a glance, Fang Lang was sure that these people he had seen when he went to the Air Department last time.

Major General Nairo Mora, who got off the first car, saw Fang Lang, who was standing on the steps of the club, also wearing civilian clothes, and walked quickly to Fang Lang with laughter:

"Haha...... Brother Fang, long time no see! ”

When Fang Lang saw that it was his guest who got out of the car, he greeted him with a smile on his face and greeted each other with a smile.

"Haha...... Brother Mora, long time no see! Looking at your face, it seems that you have been very comfortable lately! ”

As soon as General Nairo Mora heard Fang Lang's words, he naturally understood that Fang Lang was asking whether his actions in the Air Force Department were meeting expectations.

"Haha...... It's all thanks to my brother, and I've been very comfortable lately. So, when I heard my brother's call this time, I immediately turned down an important meeting and came directly. ”

Hearing that the other party was having a comfortable time, Fang Lang smiled with satisfaction.

"Then I'm so honored!"

The two laughed, and then General Nairo Mora began to introduce the guests who came together for Fang Lang.

"Brother Fang, this is our Air Force Chief of Staff Reinhard Gifford, you met last time at the Air Force Department."

Nairo Mora pointed to a black-haired white man who looked very tall and handsome, less than forty years old.

In fact, Fang Lang and the other party had a relationship, but they only met in the conference room last time, and they didn't communicate too much, so the two were not familiar. This was the first private contact.

"Colonel Gifford, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Colonel Reinhard Gifford was born in the Army, and later served in the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, and when the Air Force Department was established, he was directly transferred to the Air Force Department as Chief of Staff.

Although he didn't know what the reason for Fang Lang to invite them over for dinner through General Nairo Mora this time was, he was very clear about Fang Lang's status and identity, and he certainly didn't want to miss the opportunity to make friends with such a powerful faction.

"General Fang, it's an honor to be invited by you."

The two sides shook hands with each other very warmly, and then General Nairo Mora introduced three other senior officials of the Air Force Department to Fang Lang, namely Colonel Bucky Janssen of the Air Force Equipment Department, Colonel Dudley Ike of the Air Force Logistics Department, and the only Chief of Training with the rank of lieutenant colonel, Amado Norton, everyone greeted each other and walked into the Navy Club.

These people can be regarded as the non-naval officers who have been in business for so long and have come in for the first time, which naturally attracted the attention of many naval officers. After all, the club wasn't open to the public, and non-naval officers didn't even know there was a naval club.

Now seeing everyone, everyone can't help but start to talk about it, guessing the identities of these people, although the navy is relatively independent, but there are still many people who have seen several high-ranking officials of the Air Ministry, so soon someone recognized the identities of several people.

Although the Air Force is still a new branch of the Brazilian Defense Force, and its strength is not strong, the other party is also a unit at the same level as the Admiralty, and it should be the Minister of the Navy, Admiral Crook, who can communicate with the Minister of the Air on an equal footing.

However, everyone can feel the close relationship between General Nairo Mora and General Fang from the attitude of General Nairo Mora towards Fang Lang, which is obviously a very good personal friendship. This made everyone very surprised.

Of course, the few people who were guests also noticed the abnormality of the other guests, and they all quietly swept their eyes over the guests here.

Colonel Reinhard Gifford even said directly:

"General Fang, this place is really good, it seems to me that the guests here seem to be some naval officers."

Fang Lang understood the meaning of the other party's inquiry, and directly admitted without care:

"This is our naval club, and the guests who come here to spend money are also our naval officers.

Rest assured, there is absolutely no need to worry about the safety here, as there are soldiers stationed at our naval base in Rio de Janeiro nearby. ”

"What? It's amazing that your navy has such a lavish officers' club. This manor must have been around for a long time! Why had I never heard of the existence of this club? ”

Colonel Reinhard Gifford didn't shy away when he saw Fang Lang, and looked at Fang Lang with envy and eager eyes, who was leading everyone to open the door of a luxurious private room. He is a typical second-generation soldier, who has lived a privileged life since he was a child, and joining the army can be regarded as completing the family's experience.

However, the life of the army is not his true love, what he wants to pursue more is actually a luxurious life and beautiful girls, so he will use his network without scruples to apply for funds from the Ministry of Defense in the name of the Ministry of the Air Force, and find a way to take these funds for himself, and he does not care about the actual development of the Air Force at all.

This obviously historic, lavishly decorated club is very much in line with his aesthetic and consumer needs. When he came in and saw it for the first time, his first thought was when he would have such a manor.

When he entered the inside, he found that this was originally a club, which meant that it was a place for naval officers to eat, drink and have fun, and he immediately became envious.

To tell the truth, the navies and air forces of European and American countries are more or less involuntarily infected with some superiority and look down on the land forces they call mud legs, although the strength of the army is often far superior to theirs.

Colonel Reinhard Gifford now sees that there is such a club in the Navy, and of course he unconsciously develops a feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"This club of our Navy has just opened this year, and if Colonel Gifford likes this kind of club, I can organize interested businesses to open an aviation club for you near your air base!"

Of course, Fang Lang didn't say it casually, it doesn't matter whether this kind of officer club makes money or not, the important thing is that he can install some intelligence personnel through this club to spy on some intelligence of the Air Force.

Moreover, he was talking about the Air Corps Club, not the Air Force Club, which meant that the naval air force of his carrier fleet could also go to the club to spend and play. In this way, it will be possible to bring the naval aviation and the air force closer and avoid serious differences between the two sides because of the existence of a competitive relationship.

After speaking, Fang Lang smiled and motioned for everyone to take a seat in the private room of the restaurant, this is a huge rotatable round table, needless to say that the dishes that Fang Lang invited guests to this time are Chinese food.

Most of the people here are seeing this kind of table for the first time, and they are a little novel.

Fang Lang's words also made the eyes of several air force officers shine, if the air force can have such an aviation club, they can naturally take care of it often.

"It's a pity that we don't have a luxury estate near our air force that has the same historical heritage as here."

Colonel Dudley Ike of the Air Force Logistics Department is not without pity.

The rest of the people also sighed, General Nairo Mora knew that the business that Fang Lang was interested in was probably their Fangyuan Group, in his opinion, this business could not make much money, and as a friend, the other party's proposal might also be to give himself face.

I had the intention to come out and reject this proposal, but when I saw the expressions of the officers under my command, I knew that if I really raised an objection at this time, it would cause dissatisfaction among the officers under my command.

Therefore, when he pulled out the seat and sat down, he patted Fang Lang's back covertly, and shook his head quietly when Fang Lang looked at him.

Seeing this, Fang Lang understood what the other party meant, smiled and patted the other party's arm to signal the other party to sit down with peace of mind.

"The Air Force is a new branch of the military, and we can build a more modern club! If a few of you are willing, you can help take a piece of land near the airbase when the time comes, and we can just build a new one. ”

Seeing that Fang Lang seemed to know what to expect, Nairo Mora still continued to mention this topic, and also smiled and said:

"I think the current Aviation Academy is very good!"

Nairo Moura's proposal was quickly agreed upon, and the Air Force and Navy Aviation Academy, located not far from the Rio de Janeiro Air Base, is a beautiful place for a holiday.

Fang Lang smiled and said:

"No problem, then it's decided, and when the club opens, I'll have people invite everyone to the opening ceremony."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a knock on the door of the private room, and several waiters pushed the dining cart into the room, bowed slightly, and began to serve the food in an orderly manner.

These dishes are all Chinese seafood feasts that Fang Lang has prepared for a long time, whether the people here can accept the Chinese food arranged by him, in addition to Fang Lang's strong promotion of Chinese food culture, the more important thing is to test the reaction of everyone present.

He grinned and offered to build an aviation club for the Air Force, although he had his own purpose, but it would make these officers with deep backgrounds think that he was a good bully. The Chinese food arranged directly at this table without consulting them is another attitude he expressed.

If you are willing to make friends with him, take the initiative to try the catering arranged by him, if you object to the catering arranged by him and show too many of your own ideas, Fang Lang will not regard the other party as a friend.

As soon as they sat down, the situation that the dishes had been directly served on the table obviously made everyone stunned, which seemed to be different from the process of everyone's usual meals, and there was no intention of asking everyone's opinions at all, which made some people notice a trace of strangeness.

There are also two people who seem to be unaware of it, simply thinking that the master's family has been prepared.

"Today, in order to entertain all the brothers of the Air Force, I specially arranged for the Chinese chef of the club to make a sumptuous seafood feast for everyone, I hope you can like it."

As he spoke, he pointed to the waiter and pointed to the few bottles of his daughter's red card Shaoxing rice wine on the table:

"This is the most popular rice wine in my hometown, there is no other meaning to ask everyone to come over today, I just want to make friends with everyone, if you are willing to make friends with someone on our side, you will not get drunk today."

As he spoke, he motioned for the waiter to start pouring wine for everyone.

Several Air Force officers at the table did not expect that General Fang, who had always seemed to be very talkative, would have such a domineering side, and this meal looked simple, but it was brought with a layer of meaning to distinguish friend from foe.

This is something that everyone never expected, although their military ranks are not high, they are all veteran military families from Brazil, and their influence in the army, especially at the top of the army, is far from being comparable to the newly rising Fang Lang.

Of course, everyone came over today for the purpose of making friends with Fang Lang, but Fang Lang's current operation and the domineering shown in these words somewhat exceeded everyone's expectations. There is quite a kind of meaning that those who go along prosper and those who rebel die.

Especially the sentence that if you are willing to make friends with him, you will not get drunk and will not return, if you interpret it a little, the person who is not drunk today is the person who is not willing to be friends with Fang Lang.

These people all represent their own interest groups behind them, and if the people behind them know that they are making such an obvious political statement outside, they will be punished for not doing well when they go back, and everyone hesitated for a while, and their eyes unconsciously began to communicate.

General Nairo Mora also grasped the point instantly, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the wine glass in front of him with a smile on his face and said:

"Haha...... Brother Fang, we have long been best friends! Now we have the latest fighter project, but thank you for your support from Fangyuan Aircraft Company!

Speaking of such an important cooperation negotiation, we didn't celebrate it properly, and it really shouldn't be, so we just took this opportunity to have a drunken and non-returning. ”

As soon as the people around who were making eye contact heard this, they instantly understood what General Nairo Mora meant, and now their biggest financial path was to rely on the support of the rear admiral in front of them to continue.

If you don't get drunk today, you may not be able to continue to ride the same boat. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but stare at each other, realizing that they actually had no other choice at all.

Colonel Dudley Ike of the Air Force Logistics Department, who had always seemed a little ignorant, and Lieutenant Colonel Amado Norton, the chief of the training department, took the lead in following the footsteps of Nairo Mora and picked up the wine glass in front of them as if they were unconscious, and said with a big grin in their mouths:

"That's right! That's right! We've been good friends for a long time! You must not get drunk today. ”

"Yes, yes, it's long overdue for General Fang to come out and celebrate, and today we won't get drunk or return."

Hearing this, Colonel Reinhard Gifford, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and Colonel Bucky Jensen of the Air Force Armament Department exchanged glances again, and quickly squeezed out a smile and said:

"General Mora is right, our Air Force's new fighter project needs to thank General Fang for his support! We've all been close friends for a long time. You have to stay drunk today. Haha."

"That's right, that's right, General Fang and we are good friends, good brothers, what can General Fang do to use us in the future, please just give us orders, we must go all out, everyone must not get drunk tonight."
