Natal Naval Base, Office of the Base Commander.

"Very well, since you can complete the investigation of the Brazilian smuggling network within a month, then I will leave this new department to you to be in charge of."

Fang Lang looked at the report in his hand and said to Aditya Kuhn, who was standing in front of him in a standard military posture.

When Aditya Kuhn heard this, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted:

"Yes, thank you boss for your trust."

Of course, his expression did not escape Fang Lang's eyes, Fang Lang didn't care about this, he liked ambitious subordinates, ambition shows that he has pursuits, and people with pursuits are willing to do their best, and this is exactly what he needs, as long as the other party's ambitions are within a controllable range.

casually picked up a document from his desk and pushed it in front of the other party and said:

"Now the Brazilian Intelligence Agency is in chaos and cannot undertake domestic intelligence work at all, so I decided to expand the scale of the Second Logistics Division to deal with the increasingly severe intelligence work, and upgrade the Second Logistics Division to the Second Logistics Division, and from now on, you will be the chief of the procurement section of the Second Logistics Division."

"Yes, boss!"

Although Aditya Kuhn doesn't know why he is the head of the procurement section, the second section of the logistics department turned out to be selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the name and work content have always been incompatible.

"Since we want to expand the scale of the intelligence department, it is definitely not enough to continue to rely on my own private pockets, so our second logistics department needs to raise funds independently, and your procurement department is the department responsible for our fundraising, do you know what you should do?"

At this moment, Aditya Kuhn immediately thought of the boss asking him to investigate the Brazilian smuggling network, and it seems that the boss is eyeing the profits of the smuggling business! We want to use these profits to expand the scale of the second logistics department.

"What does the boss mean is that we take the smuggling business in all of Brazil and use this part of the profits to fund the development of the second logistics department?"

Seeing that the other party could immediately understand his meaning, Fang Lang was also very satisfied.

"You're partly right, I do need your procurement section to have control of the smuggling network throughout Brazil, but it's not just about using the money earned from the smuggling network to develop Logistics Division II, which is not enough for smuggling alone, I have other sources of funding.

I need you to use the smuggling network to monitor all goods and people entering and leaving Brazil through illegal means, even if it is a fly, as long as you board the smuggling ship in Brazil, I want to know whether the fly is male or female, and the purpose of his entry and exit. Do you understand? ”

Originally, Aditya Kuhn still felt that this new job didn't seem to be difficult, and even a little out of his own work, and felt a little dissatisfied, but now when he heard Fang Lang's words, he felt that the whole person was in good spirits.

It turned out that the funds were only incidental, and the real goal was to establish a surveillance network covering Brazil through a smuggling network, and as an intelligence service, the importance of such a network was so important that the importance of his work in his heart immediately increased several levels.

"It's the boss! I've learned that as long as people and goods enter or leave Brazil through illegal means, even if it's a fly, we need to know everything about them. ”

After seeing Aditya Kuhn understand the priorities of his new job, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Very well, I look forward to your performance, remember that all operations must be secret, so as not to let people notice that the smuggling network in Brazil is no longer safe, and I still need this network to provide me with a constant stream of information!"

"Understood, boss!"

"I don't care what means you use to master this network, but I want to remind you, don't be used by these smugglers below, from now on they will be just tools, we want money, we want intelligence, if anyone doesn't listen to the command, we will use resolute means to sweep them away, and we must not give these scum a chance to resist, understand?"

To tell the truth, this position is actually very important, it is easy to be corroded, if it is not good, the smugglers below are mainly anti-customers, using the name of their second logistics department to develop business, he will be in trouble, so he has to remind this young officer.

"Please rest assured that my boss knows what my job responsibilities are and will not give them such a chance."

In this regard, Fang Lang just glanced at the other party deeply, the opportunity was given to the other party, whether the other party can grasp it depends on the other party himself, if the other party can't stand the temptation, it's a big deal that he will change another person to be in charge of this work.

"By the way, I've seen your file and know about your father. Integrating the smuggling network this time is an opportunity for you, and if you can find your father's killer, I allow you to avenge yourself. ”

After speaking, he looked directly into the other party's eyes, and continued with an encouraging face:

"Do a good job and don't let me down."

Aditya Kuhn didn't expect the boss to say such a thing in the end, no wonder the boss chose to let himself be in charge of this work, and it seemed that he also had the intention of giving himself a chance to take revenge, at this moment Aditya Kuhn felt a hot current in his heart, and he was deeply moved by the fact that the general in front of him could consider the private affairs of such a little lieutenant as himself.

He didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only hold back his excitement with some redness in his eyes, and said in a firm tone:

"Please rest assured, boss! Aditya won't disappoint you! ”

Seeing this scene, Fang Lang nodded gently at him, and didn't say anything more, and he had to give grace to his subordinates in moderation.

"Let's go down!"

The matter had been discussed, Fang Lang waved his hand and motioned for the other party to step back.

Hearing this, Aditya Kuhn saluted a standard military salute to Fang Lang, who had already lowered his head to look at the documents again, and then retreated lightly.

In this way, Fang Lang has laid down the financial resources he is looking for for his intelligence network, and everything is just waiting for them to grow slowly in the future, of which the fastest effect is, of course, the lottery business of formal commercial channels, as for the smuggling network and the arms trade, give them a little time.

In fact, in addition to these three businesses, Fang Lang is also preparing to control black gambling stalls through gangs, as well as hiring waitresses from Japan and Europe to work in entertainment venues. and using the intelligence of the smuggling network to control the local police station to crack down on the crime of blocking goods, and to extract gang profits in the form of confiscating funds for blocking goods.

In this way, it can not only increase the funds for its own intelligence network, but also expand the scope of monitoring of the intelligence network, and at the same time control the scale of gangs in Brazil, so as to avoid the situation in which gangs are everywhere in Brazil and are more arrogant than the government.

However, after thinking about it again, he still decided to hand over the work of controlling the black gambling stall and hiring waitresses to his uncle's Hong Yitang, after all, the intelligence attributes of these two businesses are not strong, as long as Hong Yitang takes the initiative to hand over part of the profits to the second logistics department, the second logistics department can blatantly support the development of Hong Yitang, which is a win-win approach.

Time unconsciously came to October 1947, just when Fang Lang was still lamenting that the Yankees were making frequent moves in September, organizing American countries to sign the "Treaty of Rio de Janeiro" together, and establishing the CIA, the Cold War was getting closer and closer, and the situation was becoming more and more urgent, Xin Shiliang, who was responsible for integrating the political forces of the Fangyuan Group, brought Fang Lang a piece of news that made him a little incomprehensible.

"You mean, President Dutra wants to break off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union?"

"Yes, Shao Dong, now we have received the news that he is consulting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and judging from the current situation, Mr. President's opinion is very strong."

Xin Shiliang's slightly flat voice came from the receiver of the phone, but hearing these words in Fang Lang's ears made him feel empowered.

Fang Lang has long been surprised that President Dutra was able to be elected president as a non-partisan person with the support of both the National League and the SPD, but was not re-elected.

At first, after seeing the strong rise of the Labour Party, he thought that the Labour Party should develop too fast and easily defeat the alliance of the National League and the SPD, but because of his existence, the development of the Labour Party's trade unions has been seriously hindered, although the Labour Party is still growing rapidly, but the speed of development is obviously not enough to affect the election of the next president.

Now hearing this sudden news, Fang Lang finally understood the truth of history, it turned out that President Dutra had proposed such an outrageous foreign policy.

From Xin Shiliang's tone, Fang Lang could hear that President Dutra's attitude must be very resolute, otherwise he would not say anything with strong opinions, and the so-called consultation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is estimated to be a formality.

This foreign policy looks like it will soon be implemented.

In fact, this policy does not have much impact on Fang Lang, after all, he has no business dealings with the Soviet Union, and he does not want to have in-depth exchanges with the quantity, not that he looks down on the Soviet Union or whatever, but his current identity is the big capitalist that the Soviet Union wants to eliminate.

But what Fang Lang couldn't understand was why President Dutra would think of making such a decision, you must know that Brazil is also a big country in the Americas, and it has just signed the "Rio de Janeiro Treaty" with the United States, and immediately took the initiative to break off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.

What kind of fairy operation is this, so far in international relations, Brazil has not been at odds with the Soviet Union! This sudden severance of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union made the people at home think about it.

According to Fang Lang, isn't this a proper licking of dogs? You like the United States, and everyone can understand that you are close to the United States, but if you have no bottom line because the United States hates the Soviet Union, you take the initiative to announce the severance of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, and this kind of political immaturity will make the domestic opposition forces and ordinary people question your ability to govern, and you will not have to wait for the general election, your prestige will plummet, and you will lose your qualification to run for the next president in advance.

I finally managed to make Mr. Vargas's reputation bad in advance, kicked out of the Labor Party, and made him disqualified from participating in the next presidential election.

I also have to worry about myself to re-search for the next presidential candidate.

"Do many people know about this news?"

Fang Lang finally wanted to save it again, and asked.

"President Dutra made it publicly at a meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and at the same time we received the news, the news should have already gotten out, and a friend of mine in the presidential palace also revealed to me that Mr. President had already prepared the presidential palace for propaganda in advance.

At most, by tonight, the news should be known to everyone, and there is no way to hide it. ”

Xin Shiliang obviously understood the purpose of Fang Lang's question, and directly opened his mouth to overturn his last struggle.

Hearing this, Fang Lang sighed deeply, and said a little helplessly:

"Since it can't be stopped, let's prepare for the worst! From now on, you have to keep an eye on the more active politicians in the three parties to see who is most likely to run for the next president, and we have to start investing in advance. ”

Xin Shiliang didn't expect Fang Lang to be so straightforward, and directly gave up his illusions about President Dutra and began to look for a new presidential candidate. In his view, although this incident is a major foreign policy mistake, it should not be serious enough to affect President Dutra's position.

This is also the limitation of the times, they are in the situation at all, they have no idea how rapid the current international situation will change, and now it seems that the severance of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union may be able to obtain the full support of the United States, so that Brazil's economy can achieve more rapid development.

But this is not the case with international relations, and if a developing country like Brazil directly chooses to side with the United States early, it is actually tantamount to telling the Soviet Union that I am an enemy of you, and from this moment on, the Soviet Union will not have any concerns about Brazil.

You must know that Brazil is not developed now, and a large number of farmers, herdsmen and workers are still struggling to make ends meet.

But now that the two governments have severed diplomatic relations, others can do whatever they want, and there is no need to hesitate at all. When the time comes, the Brazilian workers will organize a few general strikes, which will make the Brazilian government anxious.

What's more, the United States, a big scumbag who only cares about his own interests, may also give you some benefits in the early stage for the sake of you taking the initiative to kneel and lick.

But when you completely break with the other party, and you don't have any other choice but him, others don't pinch you as much as they want.

From this it can be seen that President Dutra is very politically immature, at least compared to Vargas.

When Brazil was in power, Brazil jumped back and forth between the Axis powers led by Germany and the allies led by the United States and Britain, and obtained enough benefits from both sides to finally join the Allies.

If President Dutra had not come to power in a coup d'état, it would have been difficult to say who Brazil's current president would be, as history has proven that Mr. Vargas would soon regain victory over Dutra and become the next president of Brazil.

If Fang Lang hadn't participated in President Dutra's coup d'état earlier, he would not have resolutely sided with Dutra, and he would not have tried to pull the other party down in advance because he was worried that Vargas would return to power.

But as a result, because of his unfamiliarity with Brazilian history, he didn't expect Dutra to have such a commotion, which made his early efforts in vain, and he had to start looking for a new spokesperson for his interests.
