Hearing President Scalia's assurance, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction, in fact, he didn't intend to involve the government too much in this matter, and with the power he had at hand, he was already able to influence many decisions of the Brazilian government.

However, since he happened to discuss the topic of energy security with the president, he also mentioned his recent actions in passing, which attracted the attention of the government.

Since, Mr. President has involved the energy department, it will allow Fang Lang to have the government's endorsement when he directs the Brazilian Intelligence Agency to carry out operations against crude oil suppliers in the future.

"Then thank you, Mr. President. When the time comes, we will ask the relevant people to ask the government for help. ”

After speaking, Fang Lang got up directly and prepared to leave. Seeing this, President Scalia also hurriedly got up, and without waiting for Fang Lang to salute him, he directly stretched out his right hand to Fang Lang and said:

"Fang, we are friends, and I don't have to be too polite, although I can't interfere too deeply in the affairs of your army, the Ministry of Defense still has the right to lead your army.

If you encounter any problems and need help from my side, please feel welcome. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled, it's not that there is anything wrong with President Scalia's words, but the Brazilian army is relatively independent, and he, a president from a non-military background, really has limited influence on the army.

As he said, going through the Ministry of Defense can really make the top brass of the military sell him face. But this will make Fang Lang's body branded with him, and if he wants to achieve long-term development in the army, he can't let himself have the brand of a politician on his body from the beginning.

This will create a gap between people in the military and you, and although you will be glamorous when this politician is in power, once this politician is gone, you will be ready to end.

Of course, with Fang Lang's identity and background, it is normal for the president to have the imprint of their Fang family, even if the next president is not supported by other Fang families, he will never dare to turn a blind eye to the influence of the other party in Brazil.

When the time comes, every president will command desperately trying to win him over.

The reason why Fang Lang laughed was because he felt that what the other party said was completely unnecessary, his development in the army was not that he could not go to the next level, on the contrary, it was he himself who was trying to reduce the speed of promotion in the army, so that his foundation in the army was more stable.

"Don't worry! I will not be polite to you, Mr. Scalia, if the need arises.

If there's nothing else, I'll step back first. ”

When Fang Lang came, he had already seen the reception area outside, and there were still many people waiting for the president's summons, so he didn't mean to communicate with Scalia for too long on such a formal occasion.

If there is anything you can do in private, you can make an appointment to discuss it in detail when you have time in private.

"It's okay, I've delayed you a lot of time today, so I won't talk to you more about it first, and we'll have a meal together when we have time."

Then he said as if he remembered something:

"By the way, if you have any ideas on major decision-making issues of the government in the future, please ask the secretary directly to send me a message, if I hadn't received the news about joining the United Nations Army this time, I would have almost made a wrong decision."

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled, there was a reason why he didn't directly ask Xin Shiliang to convey his thoughts to President Scalia this time.

Although Scalia ascended to the presidency with the support of the Fang family, his presidency during this period of time had given him a preliminary taste of power, and according to the reaction of his secretary Yang Gan, he seemed to be a little floating.

In this case, the Fang family, without going through his president, directly promoted the bill opposing Brazil's entry into the United Nations forces in both military and political circles, so that this junior and high-ranking Mr. President can see the influence of the Fang family in the political arena.

It also allows him to have a clearer idea of his position. As for whether this will cause a backlash from Mr. President and do something unfavorable to the Fang family, Fang Lang is not worried at all.

Although the Brazilian Intelligence Agency seems to be inactive now, in fact they are not really inactive, at least, Fang Lang has planted a lot of nails beside this president.

Once the president prepares to be unfavorable to the other party's family, Fang Lang will definitely receive the news as soon as possible, and it is not impossible for Brazil to have an assassinated president at that time.

And Scalia's words now are actually expressing his attitude to Fang Lang, in this regard, Fang Lang is naturally full of smiles, and his eyes glanced at President Scalia with a little deep meaning and said:

"No problem, next time I will definitely communicate with Mr. President as soon as possible."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the door very tacitly.

President Scalia kept sending Fang Lang out of the door before turning back. A group of government officials waiting in the reception area looked sideways when they saw this. There is a new understanding of the influence of the other family in Brazil.

Just as Fang Lang was exerting influence on Brazil and refusing to join the United Nations Forces, the U.S. ambassador to Brazil had already sent the attitude of the Brazilian government back to the United States, and U.S. President Harry S. Truman was very disappointed.

But I have to say that the reasons given by Brazil have indeed left the United States speechless, and the Americans are very clear about Argentina's actions on the Brazilian border, and even the US government is on Brazil's side in the contradictions between Brazil and Argentina.

After all, Brazil is a pro-American country and can be considered a hardcore ally of the United States, while Argentina is a country that oscillates between the United States and the Soviet Union, and more precisely, Argentina belongs neither to the American camp nor to the Soviet camp.

The United States has always regarded the Americas as its own backyard, and of course does not allow such countries to exist in the Americas, so it is only natural that the United States supports Brazil in taking a tough stance against Argentina.

Now, in this special period, Brazil, an important ally, is unable to advance and retreat with the United States in Asia because of Argentina's provocative behavior on the border, and the United States is naturally even more dissatisfied with Argentina.

Therefore, when Truman learned that although Brazil could not directly send troops to join the United Nations forces, he also said that he would provide logistical support to the United States, and he was still very satisfied with Brazil's little brother.

From the very beginning, what he wanted for organizing the United Nations forces was not military support, but more of a political support for the international community, and Brazil's ability to give the United States actual support in terms of logistical support was also a political statement.

Of course, Truman could not refuse, so after only a little discussion, they agreed to Fang Lang's proposal that Brazil help the United States produce the Bell 47.

In order to further expand Brazil's sense of participation, the United States has organized a logistics procurement mission, or called an inspection delegation, to go to Brazil to inspect Brazil's strength in military production. Negotiate what other supplies can involve Brazil.

Soon, the G3 rifle came into the sight of the American logistics department, who did not expect such a completely new assault rifle from such a country as Brazil.

According to the information they have, the Soviet government has been equipped with a small number of assault rifles codenamed AK47, but this rifle has not yet been tested in actual combat, and everyone is not familiar with him.

In the eyes of the U.S. military, the current M1 Garand rifle is completely sufficient, and it is also the main weapon equipped by the U.S. military in the Peninsula War. Historically, the U.S. military officially began to equip assault rifles until they suffered a big loss of AK47 on the battlefield in Vietnam.

The AR15 rifle, the prototype of the assault rifle M16 they were equipped with, was not until 1953, that is, after the end of the Peninsula War, when the US Office of Combat Research found through a survey of soldiers who had participated in World War II and the Peninsula War that most of the effective casualties on the battlefield were within a distance of 300 meters.

Even, at a range of 100 meters, reflex shots without aiming and shots with aiming can also kill or wound the enemy, and in this case, from 1953 to 1957, they began to implement a research program called salvo.

It was not until 1965, after repeated refinements, that the assault rifle, designated M16, began to be officially mass-equipped with the US army.

But that was after they had been taught a hard lesson by the AK47 used by the Vietnamese, and it was still more than a decade away.

The reason why the U.S. delegation paid attention to the G3 rifle was because the Whip of God Military Contracting Company was an American company, and some of the retired senior generals of the U.S. Army had already worked at the Whip of God, and in the process, some people came into contact with the G3 rifle developed by the Fangyuan Light Weapons Research Factory.

Therefore, when they learned that a delegation had come to Brazil to inspect weapons and equipment, they directly recommended this excellent assault rifle to the delegation, and after the delegation carefully inspected and studied it, although these people were very satisfied with this rifle.

But in the end, they did not agree to purchase, and the reason is not only because they think the M1 Garand is enough, but also because the weapon is not a product of the US military-industrial complex.

Although the unit price of the rifle is not high, if you want to reload it on a large scale, the quantity is huge, which will be a very huge expense. By then, this expenditure will not yet go into the pockets of the military-industrial complex. Needless to say, they all knew that Congress would not agree to this military spending at all, unless the Fangyuan Group was willing to invest a huge amount of money to convince a number of members of Congress.

But the Fangyuan Group obviously did not have such an idea, and in the end, they only expressed a strong interest in this weapon from a private level. Fang Lang didn't mind this result at all, on the contrary, deep in his heart he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now many of the soldiers in my hometown are using the 38 big covers of small days, and there is a huge gap with the M1 Garand of the Americans, if the Americans are really equipped with G3 rifles, then someone on the other side will not become a sinner in the hometown?

Therefore, he began to try his best to reduce the G3 rifle's presence in the eyes of everyone in the inspection group, and even deliberately created several jamming incidents, so that everyone in the inspection group thought that this weapon was still immature.

This made the leaders of the company puzzled, but since Fang Lang was the boss, he naturally showed that he didn't want to make this deal, so the people below could only helplessly go with the flow.

Originally, Fang Lang was very surprised that the Americans would send personnel from the logistics department to Brazil to inspect Brazil's weapons and equipment, and at first he thought that it would be very difficult for the United States to agree to Brazil's help with the OEM Bell 47.

Unexpectedly, the United States not only agreed to let Brazil's Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company help them produce the Bell 47, but also sent a logistics delegation to Brazil to inspect what equipment Brazil could provide.

However, it was also a rare opportunity for the Brazilian Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company, whose first stop was the aircraft manufacturing company, where they not only inspected the Brazilian Bell 47 production line, but also discovered the first generation of jet fighters and jet transport aircraft produced in Brazil.

The Americans showed great enthusiasm for the first-generation jet fighter that was still in its final form, and although the American F86 Sabre fighter had been equipped with a large number of U.S. Air Force fighters as early as 1949, this could not hide the fact that the Brazilian jet fighter was an excellent fighter.

Named the FY-1, the FY-1 was the first jet fighter developed and designed by Fangyuan Group, and its appearance inherited many of the features of Dr. Tank's TA-183, such as the layout of the swept wing and under-nose air intake.

At the same time, there are also many advantages of the MiG-15 and F86 Sabre fighters provided by Fang Lang, such as the airborne radar directly in front of the nose, which the MiG-15 does not have.

The slender and elegant fuselage has long been very different from the original TA-183, and the engine used in the aircraft is the first generation of jet engines developed by Brazil's Fangyuan Power.

Because of the computer research support of the Fangyuan Computer Research Institute, the engine of this aircraft is the same as the American F86, and the microcomputer decides how much oil to give according to the air intake of the engine and the operating state of the afterburner, so as to avoid the waste of oil.

Compared to the MiG-15 and F86, this FY-1 is a more fuel-efficient jet fighter, because it is more fuel-efficient, and with the same fuel reserves, this aircraft also has a combat radius that exceeds that of the MiG-15 and F86.

At the same time, because of the different tactical considerations of several generations of fighters, the wing width of the FY-1 is also larger than that of the F-86, which has the advantage that its high-altitude performance also exceeds that of the US military's F86 fighter.

In terms of armament, it is directly equipped with four 20mm machine guns, which is more powerful than the 12.7mm machine gun equipped with the F86.

At the same time, the aircraft is also equipped with ejection seats, which allow pilots to escape through ejection seats if the aircraft is hit and cannot be saved.

How can this kind of fighter, which is obviously more advanced than the American F86, not amaze a group of American officers, but Fang Lang knows very well that even if Brazil produces such an advanced fighter, it is impossible to equip it with the US army.

You must know that the US military-industrial complex is not jealous, and out of political considerations, asking you Brazil to help OEM Bell 47 is already a major concession.

Now you still want your fighter to enter the US military equipment sequence, that is because you are thinking too much, if possible, they would like to purchase a few of these FY-1 fighters to go back to disassemble and study.

But Fang Lang will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen, so Fang Lang directly rejected the request of the American logistics officer to purchase this aircraft, but directly said that the aircraft is still in the finalization stage, has not entered mass production, and cannot be sold to the outside world.
