After readjusting the investment strategy of the pan-European highway management company, Fang Lang's global group also adjusted its investment policy in Europe.

It was decided not to wait for the official start of the European aid program, and to travel to European countries in advance to study the local market environment and look for suitable investment opportunities.

Because of Fang Lang's clear instructions, everyone knows the content of the upcoming European aid plan, so the investment goals for the local area in Europe are very clear.

This information advantage has made the investment projects of the Global Group in European countries very smooth, and the Global Group has been backed by the Global Morgan Bank, the Brazilian Development Bank, and the Bank for International Settlements, and has begun to acquire high-quality assets and reintegrate them all over Europe by virtue of its strong financial advantages.

Let the global group expand rapidly and become a world-class consortium with huge influence in Europe and the United States.

At the same time, Fangyuan Group also took the opportunity to quietly penetrate the European market under the cover of the Global Group, and launched a merger and integration action against some small enterprises with obvious technological advantages and independent intellectual property rights.

From the end of 1947 to the middle of 1949, the size of the Universal Group expanded tenfold like a balloon.

Fangyuan Group has quietly acquired more than 200 high-quality enterprises in Europe, integrated the resources of these enterprises, digested and absorbed, and became a large multinational group company across Europe and the United States.

Because of Fangyuan Group's Brazilian capital background, Fangyuan Group's influence in Brazil is increasing day by day, and it has become the largest capital chaebol in Brazil.

At the same time, in more than two years, the Chinese influence in Brazil began to blossom everywhere in Brazil, and the influence of the Chinese began to increase rapidly.

The Brazilian Asset Management Company, supported by the Brazilian Development Bank, has vigorously supported Chinese capital in two years, allowing Chinese to blossom in Brazil.

At the end of 1947, the Chinese Mutual Aid Chamber of Commerce, established by Fang Xinshan, chairman of Fangyuan Group, has rapidly expanded from more than 50 people to more than 5,000 people in just two years.

All businessmen who join the Chinese Mutual Aid Association can receive all-round support in terms of capital and technology as long as they put forward their needs and guarantees. Powerful Chinese businessmen began to enter various light industries such as cotton spinning, garment making, food processing, sugar, alcohol, and leather in Brazil.

More Chinese chose to enter the catering and retail industries with relatively little capital investment, and for a time, the number of small shops operated by Chinese in Brazil increased from more than 3,000 at the end of 1947 to more than 500,000, and some shops have opened in some remote towns in Brazil.

By the end of 1949, Chinatowns had appeared in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Porto Alegre, Recife, and Natal.

The influence of the Chinese in Brazil has also begun to gradually increase.

In order to protect the political interests of the Chinese in Brazil, with the support of the Fangyuan Group, many Chinese with political aspirations were discovered and cultivated by the Fangyuan Group and sent to the three major political parties in Brazil.

This is very different from the habit of overseas Chinese who did not like to enter politics in the past, and although there are many people in the three major parties who complain about this, considering the huge influence of the Fangyuan Group in Brazil and the increasing number of Chinese voters in Brazil, these people can only choose to keep their mouths shut obediently.

At the same time, in the past two years, in order to expand the influence of the Chinese in the army, Fang Lang began to vigorously publicize the recruitment work in the Chinese-gathering areas, and used his huge influence in the Brazilian navy and air force to accept a large number of Chinese soldiers to join the army.

Among them, the outstanding soldiers were directly sent to the Brazilian Military Academy and the Embraer School for further study.

In just two years, the number of Chinese soldiers in the Brazilian Defense Forces has rapidly expanded from more than 100 at the beginning to more than 10,000. Most of these people are distributed in the navy and air force, so that the proportion of Chinese soldiers in these two branches of the army has increased rapidly.

In addition, Fang Lang also used his influence in the police to absorb a large number of Chinese into the Brazilian police circle, and many Chinese who had police experience in their hometown were directly stuffed into the Brazilian police system. More outstanding Chinese youths were sent to study at the Brazilian Police University.

After these Chinese youths graduated, they were assigned to the Brazilian police stations across the country, starting as the grassroots sergeants of the Brazilian police system.

In order to ensure that there are as few banana people as possible in such a huge Chinese population, Fang Lang has paid very close attention to the propaganda work of the ideological dynamics of the Chinese, not only setting up several special Chinese-language newspapers in Brazil, but also openly and secretly organizing a number of Chinese rally organizations to always pay attention to the ideological dynamics of the Chinese population.

It also holds a national martial arts competition, a lion dance competition, a poetry and song competition, a calligraphy and painting competition, and a dragon boat race.

At the same time, in areas with a Chinese population of more than 10,000 across the country, special Chinese schools have been opened to teach traditional Chinese civilization.

This series of actions not only made the Chinese people more deeply identify with the Chinese culture, produced a strong sense of national identity and pride, but also made many Brazilians have a strong interest.

Time passed quietly little by little, and Fang Lang behaved very low-key in the past two years, organizing the basic training of the fleet at the Natal naval base every day.

Except for the meetings organized by the Wehrmacht, when necessary, he rarely left Natal, and there were many things that he no longer appeared in person, but commanded remotely by telephone.

The reason why Fang Lang is like this is also because the development in recent years has been too rapid, and the foundation in many places is not strong enough, so he needs to calm down and practice his internal skills diligently to lay a solid foundation.

At the same time, he also tried to slowly fade out of the sight of President Dutra, so as to prevent the America-licking president from forcibly pulling himself into his camp and allowing himself to support his presidential re-election.

Of course, these are all Fang Lang's own deliberate actions, and outsiders are not clear about this. In the eyes of outsiders, Fang Lang belongs to the heroes who fell into the gentle township, and his fighting spirit was consumed by the beauty.

Recently, with the graduation of Lilith and Vivien, the two returned to Natal, Brazil from the United States and France respectively, accompanying Fang Lang, plus Audrey Hepburn, who had been by Fang Lang's side, everyone knew that their fleet commander was accompanied by three beautiful girls who were like flowers and jade, and they had a sense of déjà vu.

Fortunately, the feminist consciousness in Brazil is not flourishing now, and many of the Chinese who fled the war and immigrated to Brazil have brought a few aunts and wives, so that many Brazilians know the custom of Chinese wives and concubines.

In addition, Brazil's neighbor Paraguay is a polygamous country, so the tolerance for polygamy in Brazilians is actually very high.

No one came out to talk about Fang Lang's behavior, of course, it may be that Fang Lang's status makes everyone dare not express any bad opinions about it.

October in Natal, Brazil, is sunny and the temperature is pleasant.

The three daughters of Lilith, who are located in the villa of the commander of the fleet at the naval base, feel that Fang Lang is a little strange today, because today is Saturday, the three daughters don't have to go to work, and they originally planned to sleep well at home, but they found that their man got up early.

Feeling the movement of Fang Lang getting up, the eldest sister Lilith was the first to open her sleepy eyes, and whispered with some puzzlement:

"Why are you waking up so early this weekend?"

Fang Lang looked back at the other party's rosy face and beautiful eyes, quite a charm of a begonia spring waking up, and couldn't help leaning over to kiss the other party's delicate red lips, before he lowered his voice and said:

"I have something to do, you go back to sleep first, leave me alone."

Audrey Hepburn on the other side heard the voices of the two, and slowly opened her eyes, saw the two kissing, and said vaguely:

"Eldest sister, I was tired last night, don't take me with me now, I want to have a good rest."

Lilith, who was feeling her man's gentle good morning kiss, heard this, probably remembering the madness of last night, and angrily smacked Audrey Hepburn, wanting to explain to the other party, but saw that the other party had turned over directly and continued to sleep with his back to himself, leaving himself with a smooth back.

I wanted to get up and take care of my man, but I found that one of my sister Vivian's arms and legs were pressing against me and sleeping soundly, and her mouth was still snorting unconsciously.

Seeing this, she could only helplessly look at Fang Lang, who had already gotten up.

Fang Lang naturally saw all this in his eyes, and stroked Lilith's beautiful face with a smile on his face, and said in a gentle tone:

"You were tired last night, so let's go to bed obediently! I'm at home, don't worry. ”

Hearing that Fang Lang was not going out, Lilith didn't force it anymore, and naturally leaned her face on Fang Lang's warm big hand, before nodding obediently and said:

"Hmmm! Then come up and call us if you have anything. ”

Fang Lang nodded with a smile, lightly got up from the specially customized luxury bed with a width of nearly four meters, and lightly covered a thin silk quilt on the bodies of the three women, and immediately collected all the spring light in the room.

To tell the truth, the perseverance required to get up from such a gentle village every day is really not small.

This means that Fang Lang has a strong physique, coupled with unremitting exercise every day, in order to defeat these three female goblins, come and go freely in this bone-knocking hole, and let the three female clothes coexist peacefully.

He waved his hand lightly at Lilith, who was still looking at him affectionately, and motioned for the other party to sleep obediently with his eyes closed, and then gently closed the door.

Fang Lang, who walked out of the room, ran along the coast as usual and exercised, and then practiced in the small courtyard downstairs for a while before going home to clean himself up.

Unlike usual, today's Fang Lang did not wear the military uniform and suit he usually wears, but very solemnly took out a set of very neatly ironed Zhongshan suits from the wardrobe.

This gray tunic is made of exquisite materials and is well-made. Although he was a little rustic in Fang Lang's eyes, he still gently patted the dust that did not exist on his clothes with his hand very lovingly.

Then he put on his clothes with a solemn expression, stood in front of the vanity mirror and carefully looked his whole body up and down, and made sure that there were no flaws.

Then he walked into his study unhurriedly.

Today is a special day for my hometown, and from this day on, the people of my hometown have completely stood up. Far away in Brazil, he had no way to go back to witness this great moment, which is a huge regret for a traveler.

But this did not prevent him from expressing his respect for this moment with his actions, although he did not remember the specific time of the ceremony, but the specific date was already engraved in his genes.

Fang Lang stood silently in his study alone, facing the direction of his hometown, and gently hummed the song that had also been engraved into his bones.

Although Fang Lang was the only one in the study at this moment, and his singing could only be heard by himself, there was an indescribable solemn atmosphere in the study that was slowly spreading.

At the end of the song, Fang Lang's eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be a mist brewing in them. Standing in a daze for a long time, Fang Lang finally managed to clean up his emotions.

He rubbed his hands together on his face and let his thoughts come back.

Fang Langcai took off the tunic on his body, took it in his hand and stroked it gently, this tunic was specially provided by him for his body size, and asked the master in Shanghai to order it, and he was only going to wear this dress today, and then he had to keep it as a souvenir.

Just as Fang Lang was looking at the Zhongshan suit in his hand, a red phone rang suddenly on the desk in the study.

Glancing up, Fang Lang's brows furrowed slightly, it stands to reason that today is a rest day, no one should call him at this time, this phone rang at this time, there was obviously something important, so Fang Lang had to answer.

In fact, this red phone is not a special line for the army, but a secret line specially drawn by him in order to remotely command the investigation department of the Fangyuan Group and Xin Shiliang.

"Hey! I'm Fang Lang! ”

didn't have time to think about it, Fang Lang stepped forward and grabbed the phone and put it to his ear, and the words coming from the phone made Fang Lang frown.

"A friend of mine in the Office of the Presidential Palace just told me that, according to the latest opinion polls, less than 30 percent of the people support the re-election of President Dutra.

Now that the people on the campaign are trying to find ways to gain more support, this friend reminded me that someone might suggest that Mr. President talk to you. ”

This meaning is very obvious, as long as you are not a fool, you know the huge influence of Fangyuan Group in politics now, but Mr. Fang Xinshan, the nominal chairman of Fangyuan Group, rarely cares about politics.

Xin Shiliang, who is responsible for integrating political resources for Fangyuan Group, is exactly whose order he obeys, needless to say, everyone can guess.

However, because of Fang Lang's military status and the fact that no one can provide clear evidence, everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb, but now it is obvious that President Dutra's situation is not optimistic, and some people in the campaign team are ready to puncture this layer of window paper.

Fang Lang didn't think that this secret could be kept forever, as long as everyone did it.

If someone else said they wanted to talk to Fang Lang, Fang Lang might not mind.

But President Dutra, who has already been given up by Fang Lang, is really not interested in continuing to think of a snake with the other party.
