Chapter 684: Summoned by the President
Fang Lang's support for the Americans from these three aspects is not insignificant, although it seems that it is all business, but whether it is the initiative to build a container terminal on the South Peninsula, or accept Japan's public security problems.
In the eyes of the American ambassador, Siriacol Rainer can be regarded as full support for the United States, but he really can't figure out why this guy is willing to support the United States from a personal point of view, but is not willing to support the United States on the issue of Brazil's entry into the United Nations forces.
Although Fang Lang gave a reason that seemed very reasonable, he Criaco Rena was not a fool, how could he believe it so easily. Unless, Fang Lang was not optimistic about this operation of the United Nations Army from the beginning.
But if it's not optimistic, why is there a reason to support it from a private perspective? I can't figure it out, headache.
But he quickly grasped a little more thought, and opened his mouth tentatively:
"If Mr. Fang is willing to fully support the UN resolution at the private level, why is he not willing to help us convince the Brazilian government?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and said with a serious face:
From the perspective of the country, for the sake of Brazil's national interests, I do not agree to let Brazil, which is not very strong, participate in the game between the two big countries, so I will not agree to Brazil joining the United Nations Forces.
But from a personal point of view, I can't get to where I am today because the U.S. government and the U.S. market have helped me, and I have to be grateful, so the U.S. government has made such a decision, and we, as an American company, naturally spare no effort to support it. ”
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Siriaco Rena understood that it was impossible to convince the guy on the other side today.
He sighed lightly and said:
"Alas! Although I don't quite understand Mr. Fang's thinking, I have to say that Mr. Fang does have a clear distinction between public and private. In that case, I will not persuade you any more, and I will report your thoughts to Mr. Truman truthfully. ”
Originally, Fang Lang still wanted to directly finalize the business with this guy about helping the Americans produce helicopters, provide container ships, and take over Japan's security tasks. Who knows that this guy is not entangled in this topic.
Instead, he directly chose to give up and continue to convince himself, but soon Fang Lang also figured out that the identity of the other party was the US ambassador to Brazil, and the help he said was definitely not his responsibility, but should be decided by the bigwigs of the US Department of Defense.
After the other party reports his thoughts, someone will naturally come out to dock, and Fang Lang will not say more after understanding this.
As for the small calculations behind the business they proposed, the Americans may not be incomprehensible, but even if they can understand it, what can they do! These ideas put forward by themselves can be regarded as real support for the Americans, and they will definitely not accept them.
Knowing that Siriaco Rena had finished talking about today's topic, Fang Lang was not going to continue to talk more with the other party, so he directly took a sip of the tea sent by Fu Bo, and put on a posture of serving tea to the guests.
But the result was obviously to throw a flattering eye to the blind man, and the guy on the other side, who he suspected at first to have worked in his hometown, did not understand this kind of etiquette at all.
provoked Mr. Fang to mumble dissatisfiedly: After the rude guy. Only then did he slowly get up, stretched out his right hand to the two of them and said:
"Thank you Mr. Rainer for your understanding, I still have some things to do in my backyard, so I won't keep two more today."
Hearing this, Siriaco Rena showed a wry smile, understanding that the other party was not waiting to see him, so he could only get up and hold Fang Lang's right hand and say:
"It's because we're so disturbed today, since Mr. Fang still has something to do, let's leave first."
After saying that, a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Fang Lang ordered Fu Bo to send off the guests, and only after Fu Bo sent the two uninvited guests out of the front hall, Fang Lang spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm in the direction where the two left. Cursed, "Damn American devils!" ”
When Fu Bo came back, he saw Fang Lang with an unhappy face, and couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, are the Americans really going to war with their homeland?"
Glancing at Fu Bo, who was full of worry, Fang Lang smiled, patted the other party's shoulder and said:
"I don't know yet, but I feel that with the Yankees' urine, they will not just help the South Peninsula maintain the status quo.
If the Yankees have to make inch, it will be a matter of time before they run into their hometown. ”
"Oops! What a good thing that is! My hometown has just been peaceful, and if I fight with the Americans, how can I get it? ”
It seems that Fu Bo also seems to be a little worried about the situation in his hometown, and Fang Lang can see more about this than he can see, and he can't help but smile and smile:
"Fubo, don't worry, according to me, although this incident is a difficult time for my hometown, as long as my hometown can withstand the pressure.
Only then can we Chinese really stand up. ”
Fu Bo obviously didn't understand Fang Lang's words, and looked at Fang Lang with a little doubt, but saw that Fang Lang had already swayed towards the backyard. Fauber could only bury this question in his heart.
I don't know if the news of the US ambassador's visit to Fang Lang's home spread, but early the next morning, Fang Lang just walked into the office when he received a call from the presidential palace, saying that Mr. President wanted to see him.
Fang Lang could only say hello to Qi Qingshan, and then rushed to the presidential palace by car.
In fact, this time the US ambassador did not let others know about his private visit to Fang Lang, after all, Fang Lang's identity is different from others, and without the consent of the US government's top brass, he can't and doesn't dare to make a fuss about Fang Lang's identity.
The reason why Mr. President summoned Fang Lang early in the morning was entirely because he wanted to personally put this favor of refusing to join the United Nations Army on Fang Lang.
Others may not understand how he came to be president, but he Scalia can't understand it.
Therefore, when Fang Lang passed through the well-guarded guards of the presidential palace and came to the waiting room in the reception area of the presidential palace, he did not wait for the call of Mr. President in the waiting room like everyone else.
As soon as he walked into the waiting room, a staff member of the presidential palace stepped forward quickly and led him directly through the eagerly awaited crowd and into the presidential office office.
This made a group of officials and bigwigs in the waiting area look at each other, and they couldn't figure out what was going on for a while! Fortunately, many of them knew Fang Lang's identity, and when everyone saw this situation, they all took it for granted, and lowered their voices to warn others not to talk nonsense, this young man was General Fang Lang, Deputy Minister of the Navy.
And Fang Lang didn't care about this even more, it wasn't the first time he came to the presidential palace, that time he didn't go in directly, and it was impossible to wait in line.
As soon as he walked to the door of the president's office, Fang Lang saw his cousin Yang Gan, who was serving as the president's secretary, who was busy at a desk outside the office.
"It's coming! Brother. ”
"What are you doing when you suddenly summoned me here?"
Fang Lang was naturally not polite to him, so he asked directly.
Seeing this, Yang Qian smiled and said indifferently:
"Isn't this what you, General Crook, have expressed about joining the United Nations Army! When Mr. President heard that this was your opinion, he wanted to talk to you. ”
"What? He wants to join? ”
"At first, he was really tempted, but after the Ministry of Defense made his attitude clear, he also died down. Yesterday, he replied to the US ambassador and said that he would consider it again. ”
Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but be happy, and he understood the other party's purpose. Smiled and said:
"Hey! I see, let's go! I'm going to meet Mr. President first, and I'll have time to sit at home. ”
"Okay! You go and talk to Mr. President first, our own brother, there is more time, and I will go to your house to eat when I have time. ”
After speaking, he led Fang Lang to knock on the door of Mr. President's room. Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Come on, come over anytime."
I don't know if the president has been waiting for his arrival, but as soon as he heard a knock on the door, Scalia's voice came from inside:
"Please come in!"
Hearing this, Yang Qian did not go in, but directly pushed open the office door and motioned for Fang Lang to go in.
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Lang saw that Scalia had already come out from behind the desk, and as soon as he saw Fang Lang, he had already stretched out his hand and walked up quickly.
"Haha...... Fang, you're finally here! ”
Seeing this, Fang Lang also stepped forward with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and held the other party's hand.
"Hello Mr. President! Nice to see you! ”
Hearing this, President Scalia pretended to be a little unhappy and said:
"Fang, we're good friends, don't be so polite, sit down and talk."
As he spoke, he led Fang Lang to the sofa area and took a seat. Fang Lang, who was very familiar with him, was not too polite, but smiled and said:
"Although we are good friends, but your current identity is our president, and the necessary etiquette must be there!"
Scalia smiled and waved his hand:
"Don't talk about this, if it weren't for the support of your good friend, where would I be where I am today."
While speaking, Yang Gan, as a secretary, pushed open the office door again, brought two cups of tea in, and placed them in front of the two of them.
Neither of them paid much attention to Yang Gan's arrival, everyone was a person who knew the roots, and there was no need to have too many scruples at all.
"If it's a good friend, don't talk about it, without your care in the past few years, our Fang family's business in São Paulo would not have developed so smoothly."
After speaking, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful.
After the politeness, Scalia didn't waste any time, and went straight to the point:
"Do you really think that the UN forces will face the Soviet Union?"
Fang Lang would not hide anything from Scalia, and smiled directly:
"With that little strength on the North Peninsula, without the support of the Soviet Union, they would not have dared to go south at all, and from the very beginning, this was the operation supported by the Soviets.
Now as soon as the Americans intervene, if they do not intervene deeply, it is fine, the Soviet Union will at most provide some support behind the North Peninsula, but if the United States enters the North Peninsula, it will border the Soviet Union, and in this case, if the Soviets do not respond, it will be hell. ”
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Scalia also groaned slightly, and soon asked again:
"Do you believe the promise of the Americans in the resolution to help restore territorial sovereignty only on the South Peninsula?"
"To help the South Peninsula restore its territorial sovereignty, he and the United States can do it alone, so why bother to form any United Nations troops? Isn't it just that you want to gain the political initiative?
And this resolution was adopted in the absence of the Soviets, isn't this a proper provocation to the Soviets? Can the Soviets accept it? ”
"In this way, this United Nations army is really not suitable for too much mixing. You say that the USSR and the United States will not officially go to war on this! If it does, it is likely to lead to a third world war. ”
"It's really hard to say, after all, both sides have big killing weapons in their hands, and if they collide head-on, both sides will have scruples, and I estimate that the Soviet Union is more likely to support the flower planters!"
Considering Fang Lang's Chinese identity, Scalia did not directly say that it was not good to grow flowers, but said euphemistically:
"Relying on the flower grower alone, directly confronting the entire United Nations army? Will they be able to withstand it? ”
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly and decided to be a prophet.
"If you want to say that the current flower growers are poor and white, the navy and air force may not be able to compete with the Americans, but the army may not be able to do so.
You must know that on the Asian battlefield, the flower planters used their weak national strength to contain millions of fanatical Japanese troops head-on for eight years, and the army units had already been unconsciously tempered.
In addition, in the past few years, they have been fighting with the national army of the whole United States, and they have already figured out the tactics and tactics of the Americans. ”
Fang Lang's words obviously can't make Scalia believe it, you know, the strength of the American army during this period is almost deeply engraved in the hearts of people all over the world.
To say that the United States will lose at the hands of the flower growers, not to mention Scalia, even the majority of Chinese in Brazil do not believe it. In this regard, Fang Lang didn't want to make too many predictions, and when the results came out, the world would naturally be able to re-understand the flower planter.
In this way, everyone's impression will be more profound.
Although Scalia did not approve of Fang Lang's words, he did not overturn his words, but said directly:
"I don't know much about the war, since Fang thinks that the Americans may be in trouble this time, then we don't want to get involved. This afternoon, in accordance with your wishes, I will send a formal note to the United States Ambassador informing them that we refuse to join the United Nations Force. ”
At this moment, Fang Lang also had to sigh at Scalia's cleverness, he directly told Fang Lang that according to his idea, he would note the American ambassador, what a lot of face this must be, this favor directly fell on Fang Lang's head, Fang Lang couldn't take it if he didn't want to.
However, Fang Lang did not feel panicked or uneasy about this. In a capitalist society, all this should be shared, you Scalia was originally the president I raised, you don't take my opinion into account, whose opinion do you consider.
If you disagree with me, don't say that I won't support you the next time you want to run for election, even if you want to pass many of your current policies, I can set up all kinds of obstacles for you to ensure that you can't implement them.
More seriously, it is very common to remove you, the president, from office. What's more, it's nothing new to directly arrange a killer and send you away.
This is the dirty politics of capitalism.
