Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 191 Into the eyes

  General Morais looked at Fang Lang who was chatting and laughing with a group of naval officers not far away, and was extremely satisfied.

   At the beginning, the family took the initiative to let the family build a modern shipyard in Brazil to open the way for the future independent shipbuilding of the Brazilian Navy. The current shipyard has already begun to manufacture ships.

   Maybe as soon as the Ministry of the Navy can place an order with them, they can start building new warships for the Brazilian Navy.

  Now I heard that an artillery factory invested and built by their family has already been put into production. The key is that they did not rely on the Americans for their laurels.

   It turned out to be very aggressive, and it is really commendable to want to optimize on the original basis.

  General Leta saw General Morais's satisfied smile, but he still didn't understand that Fang Lang had completely fallen into the eyes of General Morais.

   After hesitating for a moment, he looked around and said in a low voice:

   "When Colonel Fang went out to inspect the military industry on behalf of the military this time, he found several firearms designers in Germany. He wanted to build a light weapons factory by himself and research light weapons.

  However, because there is no production authorization for other light weapons, a lot of money may be invested in independent research in the early stage. "

   "Oh! Did he ask you for support?"

  When General Morais heard this, he immediately became interested and asked quickly.

   "Ah! That's not true. His idea is to study silently first, and then expand the scale after the results are obtained."

  General Leta didn't dare to tell General Morais that Fang Lang had allowed himself to buy shares in his own name.

  If you know this, you may have to think about where your money comes from! After all, his image has always been clean and honest.

   It seems that I shouldn't talk about this matter. If I say this, General Morais will definitely pay attention to this project, so won't I lose the opportunity to invest?

well! I didn't think about it!

  While General Leta was secretly regretting that he should not talk too much, General Morais moved in his heart and said:

   "Go and tell him, after Mr. President's inauguration, let him come to me and say that I want to chat with him alone."

  Hearing this, General Leta was shocked, the current General Morais is different from the past.

  The original General Morais was the commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. With the election of General Dutra as President, General Morais was directly appointed as the Minister of Defense, with the influence of General Morais in the military circle.

   It can be said that the current General Morais is the number one person in the military world, and being able to get the attention of General Morais is destined to make Fang Lang's road in the military world smooth.

  This is different from President Dutra. After all, the Brazilian government and the military are complementary to each other. President Dutra's choice to serve as the president of Brazil means that he has given up his military status.

  Once you give up your military status, although you still have some influence in the military, it is far from the original influence.

  Thinking of this, I can't help thinking that it seems that Fang Lang can no longer buy his wife's paintings in the future! In just a few words, two sources of money were lost in a row, which made General Leta's heart ache.

  But since General Morais asked himself to pass the message, he could only quickly respond in a low voice:

   "Yes, Your Excellency General."

   Seeing that General Morais had no other orders, General Leta walked towards Fang Lang and his group of naval officers unhurriedly. When everyone saw General Letta coming, they all stood at attention and saluted.

  Letta greeted everyone very kindly, which really flattered everyone!

  Because in the minds of most people, General Letta is an outlier in the Brazilian army. He is rigid and serious.

  If Fang Lang heard the voices of the people, he would definitely give them a haha, not even a gift, and others would definitely drive you out of the office!

  But General Leta greeted them with a smile on his face today, which made everyone a little uncomfortable.

  When General Leta came to Fang Lang and whispered:

   "Colonel Fang, after the ceremony is over, don't leave. General Morais wants to talk to you alone."

   As soon as these words came out, Fang Lang was not only taken aback, but the expressions of all the officers around him changed.

   The look in Fang Lang's eyes began to change.

  Because everybody knows what that means.

   Colonel Tich's eyes flashed with joy. It seems that his brother's position in the upper circle of the Brazilian army is indeed extraordinary!

  He knew that Fang Lang had a good relationship with General Leta, and he also knew that Fang Lang had a relationship with General Morais.

  However, today General Leta informed Fang Lang in public that General Morais asked Fang Lang to chat alone.

   This signal made everyone have to face up to Fang Lang's position in the Brazilian army again.

  Even the faces of the two battleship captains and cruiser captains not far away were full of envy.

  Although I don't know the purpose of General Morais' meeting with me alone, it is obviously inconvenient to ask at this time.

   Can only stand at attention quickly:

   "Yes, as ordered, Your Excellency General."

   Noticing General Leta's meaningful eyes, Fang Lang was numb all over, what do you mean!

  You didn't say what others were looking for me for, but instead looked at me like this, how can I understand what you mean!

  However, he can also understand that it is impossible for the other party to say anything to him in such a public place.

   Soon, after everyone gathered, under the leadership of General Morais, they took a unified vehicle to the Capitol to attend the inauguration ceremony of President Dutra.

  The entire ceremony was solemn and solemn, and all the people who came to see the inauguration ceremony were from the military and political circles of Brazil.

  Fang Lang found many familiar faces in it, many of whom had come forward to discuss cooperation with Fang Lang in the automotive industry system.

  When these people saw Fang Lang, they also stopped and nodded to Fang Lang, and Fang Lang had to nod in return.

  All the generals of the sea, land and air forces looked sideways, wondering why these politicians would get acquainted with a naval colonel.

  Suddenly, Fang Lang's identity became confusing.

   After finally finding his own seat and sitting down, Fang Lang noticed that Colonel Tiki next to him secretly gave him a thumbs up.

   Fortunately, the atmosphere in the venue was relatively solemn and not suitable for conversation, so Fang Lang hid away.

  Otherwise, someone close to me might run over and ask directly.

   There were not only military and political officials in Brazil at the inauguration ceremony, but also representatives from other countries, but most of them were ambassadors from various countries, and Fang Lang didn't know anyone.

  Perhaps for President Dutra and the new government officials, today is a busy and fulfilling day.

  But for Fang Lang, it was the opposite. The whole ceremony process was cumbersome and boring. The main reason is that Fang Lang is very boring sitting on the chair.

   It took a whole morning before the ceremony ended.

   This also heralds that Brazil has officially entered a new era, and the light of democracy briefly came to Brazil, the largest country in South America.

  President Dutra in history did not have outstanding achievements during his tenure, but he promulgated a new constitution in September 1946.

  While the presidency remains the primary institution, the office is subject to many restrictions that prevent future leaders from abusing their power.

  The new constitution establishes a system of three powers in the government, guaranteeing the independence and freedom of Congress in electing members.

   This is a political contribution.

  Economically, because the war has just ended and the world economy has recovered rapidly, President Dutra supported the development of the private economy and foreign-funded enterprises, allowing Brazil's domestic economy to develop rapidly.

  Of course, because the Brazilian government is closer to the U.S. government, it will inevitably become the U.S. raw material supply base and commodity dumping place.

  Of course, some excellent enterprises also appeared in Brazil. During this period, Brazil's economic development entered a period of small prosperity.

   As for the military, since President Dutra is a soldier, he has invested heavily in the military, and economic development has also provided funds for the development of armaments in the treasury.

   Therefore, during this period, the equipment update speed of the Brazilian army was very fast.

   Moreover, President Dutra saw the shortcomings of the lack of military strength in the Brazilian army. During this period, the number of troops also began to increase slowly.

  At the same time, this period was also a period of rapid population increase in Brazil. This period in history was the peak period of large-scale Japanese immigration to Brazil.

  It's a pity that because of Fang Lang's coquettish operations, Brazil now has a very bad impression of Japanese descent, whether it is from the government level or from the grassroots level.

  Everyone is still carrying out vigorous liquidation activities against Japanese people. It is very rare to have such a rare opportunity to have government support to seize Japanese property.

  The former President Vargas knew very well in his heart that these Japanese descendants may have really come to protect the safety of his president. However, even if he knew it, it didn't mean he could approve of this behavior.

  No matter from which aspect, a single ethnic group armed to surround the presidential palace is not acceptable to a politician.

  Even, if it weren’t for this kind of coquettish manipulation by Japanese, Vargas would not have ended up like this.

  So, in Vargas' mind, the hatred for Japanese descendants is no less than that of Fang Lang.

   Judging from the above situations, Fang Lang actually doesn't have to worry that the Japanese will return to Brazil any time soon.

  However, Fang Lang didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, there are many people in Japan who can't survive. Maybe someone will re-land in Brazil by boat based on pre-war memories.

  So, Fang Lang ordered the warships at the Natal Naval Base to patrol the northern coast of Brazil from time to time, and if Japanese ships were found, they would be repatriated.

  If there is a situation of non-stop persuasion, let the submarine practice hunting tactics, or let the cargo ship hit a mine and sink in the Atlantic Ocean.

  Anyway, during the war, it was said that there were many torpedoes scattered in the Atlantic Ocean.

   Let the Japanese enjoy it, and there is no waste.

   Therefore, no Japanese ships were able to approach Brazil at all during this period.

   On the contrary, through the Fangyuan Group labor service company, there is indeed an endless stream of boats immigrating from their hometown to Brazil.

  Especially when Chang Kaishen started to fight, many people in his hometown who wanted to escape the war took the initiative to sign up for labor service companies to go to Brazil to work.

   Let the Hongmen gang in my hometown have money to collect, and everyone is very happy.

  As long as the government officials can get the magic medicine like penicillin, they don't care about the life and death of the common people, and they provide various conveniences for the immigration activities of labor service companies.

  Some officials even packed the prisoners in the cells directly and sent them to the immigration ship of the labor service company in exchange for penicillin.

  Of course, there are many political prisoners under the strict supervision of the National Party, but they dare not operate like this.

  But for a while, petty thieves on the street were hard to find.
