Soon, a strong wind against Brazil's participation in the conflict on the peninsula blew in Brazil's political and military circles, and this wind naturally quickly reached the ears of Mr. Scalia, the president.

He also quickly understood the Fang family's attitude on this matter, and the heart that he originally wanted to get involved in it was quickly extinguished.

But even so, he still took the initiative to invite Fang Lang, after all, this kind of thing is completely different from making a decision after communicating with Fang Lang face-to-face, and making a decision after only hearing a little rumor.

Who knows if Fang Lang can understand what he means.

Just when Fang Lang was busy trying to persuade others to support his idea, an unexpected guest came to his house.

Fang Lang, who had been running outside for a day that day, had just returned to his manor in Rio de Janeiro, and was about to have dinner with a few of his own women, when he saw the porter running into the restaurant quickly, and said to Fang Lang in a little hurry:

"Sir, there's a gentleman out there who claims to be the U.S. ambassador to Brazil, coming to visit."

Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help frowning, at this special moment, what was the purpose of the US ambassador's visit, needless to say, he could guess.

The other party asked the president to push Brazil to join the United Nations Army, and he immediately jumped out on the back foot to sing the opposite tune, and also colluded everywhere, making it clear that he did not want to get involved with the Americans.

However, Fang Lang doesn't care what this guy thinks, even if he has a temper, he can't be angry with himself, a small US ambassador to Brazil, he can give face if he is willing to give face, and if he is not willing to give face, he can directly not bird the other party.

But to get to this point, Fang Lang is not a reckless person, so he just groaned slightly, and then showed an apologetic smile to Audrey Hepburn and the sisters Yingchun and Xichun who accompanied him to dinner, and turned to the porter and said:

"I see, please go to the front room and wait! I'll clean up and come over. ”

He and the American ambassador were not familiar with each other, and it was impossible for him to invite him to dinner with him. Besides, the other party came over this time, obviously with bad intentions, Fang Lang's willingness to meet the other party was already giving a lot of face.

The porter listened to his command, nodded in response, and walked out quickly.

Audrey Hepburn waited for the porter to leave before she said to Fang Lang:

"Honey, are you alright?"

Seeing Audrey Hepburn's somewhat worried look, Fang Lang smiled indifferently:

"What can happen, a little American ambassador to Brazil, give him a face, invite him to a cup of tea, and don't let him in if he doesn't give face."

Audrey Hepburn, who already knew the strength of her own man very well, heard this, smiled slightly, put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and said:

"Then you go ahead and get busy! We'll wait for you to come back and eat together. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang got up and walked to Hepburn's side, grabbed her shoulder and kissed her delicate cheek, before saying softly:

"You have a bad stomach, you can't be hungry, eat obediently, I'll go meet this nasty guy first."

After speaking, he kissed the two sisters Yingchun and Xichun respectively, and walked out of the restaurant with a satisfied face.

Leaving the three sisters to look at each other in the restaurant, they shook their heads helplessly and ate quietly.

As soon as he walked out of the dining room, the housekeeper Fu Bo took two quick steps to Fang Lang's side and said:

"Sir, do we need to prepare another table of dinner for this guest?"

Hearing this, Fang Lang glanced at the other party and said with an indifferent expression:

"Let's see! This kind of uninvited guest, who knows if he came over after dinner. ”

With just one sentence, Fauber understood that Fang Lang did not want to see the American ambassador, and nodded lightly:

"Understood, then at that time, if necessary, I will instruct the kitchen to arrange."

After speaking, the two of them staggered to the front hall, and saw two white men in suits and leather shoes, sitting on the Taishi chair in the front hall, looking around at the layout of the front hall.

After seeing Fang Lang and the two in casual clothes come out, the two of them also hurriedly got up to greet each other with smiles on their faces. Seeing this, Fang Lang also squeezed out a smile on his face, and stretched out his right hand from a distance and said:

"Come here, miss the welcome! I'm Fang Lang. ”

On the opposite side, a tall, thin blonde white man in his forties held Fang Lang's outstretched hand very enthusiastically and said:

"Hello Mr. Fang! I'm U.S. Ambassador to Brazil Syriaco Rainer, and I'm here today. ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Lang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, good guy, you still know that you are very presumptuous! However, the American ambassador actually understands the fake politeness of his hometown.

It seems that this old boy has either stayed in his hometown, or he has studied himself! Looks like I'm going to have to be careful.

Fang Lang greeted the other party with a smile on his face:

"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Renner's visit to make the humble house shine! How to take the liberty of saying it. ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the Mr. Siriaco Rainer pointed to the young man behind him who looked to be in his early thirties, with small curly hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said:

"This is my secretary, Penry Connery."

Fang Lang also greeted each other very politely, and everyone sat down separately. Without waiting for the other party to express his intentions, Fang Lang said knowingly:

"Mr. Rainer, I am the Deputy Minister of the Navy of Brazil, and I rarely deal with people in the diplomatic department, I wonder why you came here this time?"

His meaning is very clear, I am only a Minister of the Navy, you should not come to me for anything, and even if you look for me, I will not be able to help you.

Hearing his words, Cialacol Rainer, who was opposite, did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, but said with a smile:

"Haha...... Mr. Fang laughed, you are not just the Brazilian Secretary of the Navy, long before I came to Brazil, our former U.S. Secretary of State, Mr. George Marshall, told me that he had a very good friend in Brazil.

If you encounter something that cannot be solved in Brazil, you can go to him, and I believe that for his sake, this friend will definitely lend a helping hand. ”

Hearing this, the expression on Fang Lang's face couldn't help but stagnate, he didn't expect that this guy would not play according to the routine and move out of George Marshall directly.

But it is obviously impossible to get him to change his position by virtue of his relationship with George Marshall. So, he just smiled slightly and opened the topic and said:

"Oh! It turns out that Mr. Rainer and Marshall know each other, haha...... Say it earlier! I wonder if Mr. Marshall's health has been fine lately? ”

Of course, Fang Lang is still clear about George Marshall's situation, as early as 1949, the old guy had resigned as his secretary of state, which is why Siriaco Rainer said that he was the former secretary of state.

But Truman didn't let him rest either. At the beginning of this year, he was reappointed as the US Secretary of Defense, so Marshall is now one of the bigwigs of the US government.

Seeing that Fang Lang did not shirk his friendship with Mr. Marshall, Siriacol Rena still breathed a long sigh of relief.

Originally, before he went to work in Brazil, as Marshall's old subordinate, when he went to say goodbye to Marshall, Marshall introduced him to him that he had such a friend in Brazil, but he didn't care.

After all, Marshall did not explain Fang Lang's specific situation to him, but only told him that Fang Lang was a rear admiral in Brazil. So, he did not take the rear admiral to heart.

First of all, as Fang Lang said, he is a diplomat, and it is somewhat inappropriate for him to have private contact with naval officers of another country.

Second, he did not think that a Brazilian rear admiral could be of much help to his work in Brazil, so he never thought of having too much contact with the friend of the admiral.

But this time, President Truman asked him to push Brazil to join the United Nations forces and intervene in the war on the peninsula. Things that were already safe and secure, but because of the appearance of this inconspicuous deputy secretary of the navy, the situation has changed dramatically.

Mr. President, who had previously agreed with him, soon changed his attitude, and the military and political circles throughout Brazil began to emerge that a peninsular war could lead to the Soviet Union's involvement, and eventually the risk of nuclear war.

This put his work in a difficult position, and at this time, he had to go back and carefully check the information of the young deputy chief of the admiralty.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you are shocked when you see it, it turns out that this inconspicuous Minister of the Navy has such a strong background, not only became a vice admiral of the Brazilian Navy at the age of twenty-five, but also served as the Deputy Minister of the Navy with absolute real power.

What shocked him even more was that this young man also had a huge influence in the United States, not only close to the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium, but also the behind-the-scenes boss of the newly rising American Global Consortium.

At the same time, their Fangyuan Group in Brazil is also the largest consortium in Brazil, holding the lifeblood of Brazil's industry and agriculture, no wonder the other party's influence on the Brazilian president is so huge.

If someone else is dragging him back in pushing Brazil into the war, he can also use his influence to clean up the other party and let him know how good American dad is.

But this is obviously not a figure that he can influence through his influence, and if he really does this, he will not be able to do it, and he, the American ambassador, will be directly influenced to step down.

Therefore, he had to come to visit this inconspicuous real boss in person in a hurry.

"Mr. Fang is worried, Mr. Marshall's health is very good, this time, let me bring you a small gift for him!"

After speaking, he glanced at his secretary, and the secretary lifted the briefcase next to the chair and put it on his lap to open it, and took out a gift box from it and handed it over.

Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes, Mr. Marshall's health was very good, Fang Lang believed it, after all, he still had eight or nine years to live. But to say that he would entrust this guy to bring him any gifts, Fang Lang didn't believe it at all.

Because the U.S. ambassador has been in Brazil for almost two years, if it is really a gift from Marshall, it will be too late for you to send it at this time.

However, since the other party had given a gift, he couldn't delve too deeply into the problem, so he just smiled and motioned for Fauber to step forward and take the gift box handed over by the other party's secretary.

After Fauber handed it to him, he didn't hesitate to open the package directly, only to see that it was a very fine pipe, and the interesting thing was that this pipe was very similar to the pipe he used when Fang Lang last met Marshall. I wonder if it was a gift from Marshall.

But if that's the case, it's kind of interesting that the giver didn't give the gift until two years later.

This made him smile with an inexplicable meaning.

"Haha...... General Marshall was so polite. I also bothered Mr. Rainer to make a trip himself. ”

It was as if Rainer had come here today to help General Marshall give gifts. Seeing this, Siriaco Rainer knew that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary difficulty.

If you can't get straight to the point, you won't be able to make a full circle around the world here. The dignified American ambassador didn't have time to waste with the other party here, so he no longer continued to detour with Fang Lang, but went straight to the point:

"Mr. Fang, in addition to giving you a gift for General Marshall this time, I also want to ask you for help!"

Seeing that the other party was impatient, Fang Lang also knew that he would have to face it sooner or later, so he waved his hand to Fu Bo beside him and said:

"Fauber, have two cups of tea served to the guests."

After speaking, he turned to the American ambassador and said:

"Mr. Rainer is not mistaken! You're the U.S. ambassador to Brazil, you're representing the mighty United States, and there's something else in the world that you can't handle? If you can't figure it out, I'm sure there's nothing I can do! ”

Fang Lang's shirking can be felt even by a fool.

But the US ambassador on the other side pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended not to understand what he meant. Still speaking:

"Haha...... Mr. Fang may not be able to do anything about other things, but I believe that General Fang will definitely be able to do his best in this matter. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang understood that the other party would not leave if he did not get a clear answer here today, and he had to say that these diplomats were really not ordinarily thick-skinned.

"Oh! In that case, I'd be interested in hearing that even Mr. Rainer couldn't handle it, but I, a Brazilian soldier, could do it. ”

Hearing this, Siriaco Rena smiled slightly and said directly:

"I heard that during World War II, General Fang took the initiative to apply and led his fleet to the Pacific Ocean to participate in the Pacific War.

Now that a new war has broken out in the Pacific, we would like to ask Admiral Fang to lead his fleet again to the Pacific to make a contribution, and I assure Admiral Fang that as long as you can make this happen, our U.S. government will give you the full support of your further progress in the Brazilian military circles. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Lang's eyebrows instantly turned upside down, and his eyes looked at the Ambassador Siriaco Rena in front of him coldly, and said word by word:

"If I'm not mistaken, Ambassador Rainer means that you American-ready to meddle in the management of our Brazilian military, right?"

As soon as Siriaco Rena saw Fang Lang's expression and tone, he knew that it was a bad dish, and now he may have said the wrong thing, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly made up for it:

"Haha...... General Fang misunderstood, how could we interfere in the management of your Brazilian army! I mean, I can promise you on behalf of the U.S. government, as long as you can facilitate this.

We can open up the sale of some high-tech equipment to your Brazilian military, such as our latest jet fighters, and I believe that with the blessing of these equipment, the combat effectiveness of your fleet will be stronger, and your position in the navy will be more stable at that time. ”
