Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 296 Discussion of Military Academy

   "Didn't you just start an Air Force Academy with the Air Force?

  Why do we need to build another military academy? Our military expenditures can’t afford you to make such a fuss. "

  Navy Minister General Crook looked helplessly at Fang Lang in front of him.

   "General, I am considering that the advisory group we hired from the United States,

  It would be a waste to simply train our aircraft carrier fleet.

  Anyway, a sheep is also chased, and a flock of sheep is also chased.

   It just so happens that our navy has just received several US Fletcher-class destroyers,

  Officers at all levels have only received some basic training.

  Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity and have all our sailors receive systematic learning? "

  Fang Lang sat in General Crook's office, and said to General Crook earnestly.

   "Well! This is okay!

  I'll have someone compile a list and give it to you, and send them over to receive training from American instructors.

   As for the establishment of a military academy, is it unnecessary?

   Just finished purchasing aircraft carriers and destroyers, our navy's military expenditures have been seriously exceeded this year.

  The application may also be rejected. "

  General Crook obviously understands the importance of establishing a military academy, but the Department of the Navy, which has just completed a major upgrade of the navy, has consumed too much military expenditure this year.

   Even if you want to build a military academy, you have to wait until the next fiscal year.

   "The navy is a high-tech arm, and simple training alone cannot form combat effectiveness.

  We send our officers to foreign military academies to study every year. It is better to directly set up our own military academies in China.

  In the early stage, excellent military instructors were hired from abroad to teach in Brazil, and gradually cultivated their own instructor team.

   And carry out strategic and tactical research suitable for our own Brazil.

  In order to form our own military strategic thinking in Brazil.

   Targetedly build our navy into a modern navy with combat effectiveness. "

  In fact, Fang Lang encouraged General Crook to build a modern naval academy just to seize the opportunity and become the first proponent of this point of view.

  Only in this way, will there be a chance to get a foot in the construction of a military academy in Brazil.

  In the beginning, his idea was indeed to build a military academy under his own control, and then put the police academy in it.

  But he quickly figured it out that his identity could not completely control a military academy. This kind of school must be directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defense or the Ministry of the Navy.

  If you are too ambitious, you may steal the chicken and lose money, and include the police academy that has the opportunity to be completely controlled by yourself.

   It’s better to take a step back and broaden the sky, stop coveting unrealistically hard-to-get rights, turn yourself into the school’s advocate, and get the best political resources.

  Because, if this proposal was proposed by him, then he must have the opportunity to join in the formation of this military academy, and by the way exert his own influence on some things of this military academy.

   "I know what you said, I have already said it.

   It's not that I don't want to have a dedicated naval officer school.

   Rather, we really have no funds. "

  General Crook recognized Fang Lang's ideas very much, and admired his forward-looking vision of being able to propose the construction of a military academy.

   But the other party's constant pestering also made him feel very headache.

  Hearing that General Crook always emphasized the issue of insufficient funds, Fang Lang turned his head and said directly:

   "Your Excellency, our navy has no military expenses.

  But other military branches have military expenses!

  For example, the military expenses needed for the construction of the Aviation Academy we established this time are all provided by them!

  We want to build a military academy, but we don’t necessarily have to build a professional naval academy!

  Of course, it would be best if a more professional naval academy could be built.

   But don’t you have no money now?

   No money and our army brothers!

  Let's just pull up the Secretary of the Army and go directly to Marshal Morais to chat.

   See if we can simply start a Brazilian Defense Forces officer academy.

   Putting the navy and army directly in one school, wouldn't we not have to pay for it? "

  General Crook's eyes lit up at Fang Lang's words, and he reacted.

Yup! We can build an Air Force Academy with Air Force dollars.

  Why can't the Army's military expenses be used to build the Naval Academy!

   Good guy, this Fang Lang's brain is really not so flexible, he can think of this kind of show operation.

  The key is that this solution already has a successful experience, and it can be copied and pasted directly!

   "Wait, why don't we just add the Aviation Academy we formed with the Air Force?

   Wouldn’t our confidence be greater in this way? "

   General Crook seems to have thought of a better way.

   But what greeted him was Fang Lang looking at him like a fool.

   An angry Crook stared at him with a white eye and said:

   "What are you doing looking at me like this, if what I said is wrong, you can just say it.

  Next time you use this again, look at me like an idiot, and I will punish you to swim a kilometer. "

  Hearing General Crook's words, Fang Lang quickly smiled flatteringly and said:

   "Hey, General, you misunderstood me, this is clearly a look of admiration.

  You see how clear my eyes are, how bright my eyes are, and how sincere my expression is. "

  This shameless appearance made General Crook laugh directly.

  In the entire Brazilian Navy, only Fang Lang can joke with General Crook so unscrupulously.

   After all, General Crook has always been known for his strictness in the Navy.

  But after Fang Lang got in touch with him, he found that General Crook took great care of him.

  Especially last time, when the chief officer of the Marine Corps was forced by someone, the two had a chat,

   It can be regarded as completely eliminating the barriers and being able to discuss some issues with an open heart.

  Actually, this is also related to Fang Lang's own strength. After all, Fang Lang's aircraft carrier battle group has already occupied more than half of the Brazilian Navy in terms of scale and combat effectiveness.

  Plus Fang Lang has unparalleled control over this aircraft carrier fleet.

   It can be said that it has reached the point where the needle cannot be inserted, and the water cannot be splashed.

  Even the Marine Corps officers and staff who had just been forced into it by the Ministry of War were wiped out by him.

   With such a powerful subordinate, General Crook must of course pay attention to it and guard against it.

   But fortunately, Fang Lang has always respected General Crook very much.

  If there is any good thing, I can still think about him all the time, and the huge age gap between the two makes General Crook have a sense of intimacy like an uncle and nephew.

   Of course, it must be explained here that there is an intimate relationship between the two.

   It has nothing to do with Fangyuan Group's care of General Crook's family.

   Especially letting his family members join the fishing company formed with Colonel Parisi as shareholders, it has nothing to do with it.

   "Okay, you boy, talk when you have something to say, and fart when you have something to say.

   Don't play tricks here. "

  General Crook scolded Fang Lang with a smile.

  Fang Lang also smiled and said:

   "Hey, Your Excellency, we and the Air Force jointly established the Aviation Academy,

   This is between us and the Air Force.

   How can that be confused with establishing an officer school with the Army?

  One is a school dedicated to training pilots, and the other is a school dedicated to training naval and army officers.

  The direction of cultivating talents is different, of course they have to be established separately. "

   What Fang Lang said sounds reasonable, but in fact it's just fooling people.

   Fortunately, as the Minister of the Navy, General Crook is not a fool.

   From Fang Lang's short words, he tasted the taste.

   couldn't help but smiled and cursed at Fang Lang:

   "You kid is a slippery head, you just said that we have some control over both schools.

  But they can only have influence on one school, isn't it enough? "

   Fang Lang smiled and said:

   "In this way, although there are two schools, we can exert our own influence.

   But it also disperses our energies and is not conducive to the unity of our naval officers.

  So, I would like to apply with you to give me the management rights of the Air Force Academy established in cooperation with the Air Force.

  The Ministry of the Navy, on the other hand, focused its energy on the officer school established with the Army. "

   Hearing Fang Lang's words, General Crook had to express his admiration.

  Because he discovered that Fang Lang was always playing chess quietly.

  Often when you think you have seen through his thoughts, he will hide a more hidden thought behind this thought.

  General Crook had no objection to Fang Lang's idea of ​​controlling the naval aviation.

   After all, there is only one aircraft carrier in Brazil, Fang Lang, and the naval aviation can only be under his jurisdiction.

   Smiling, reached out and tapped Fang Lang, and said with a smile:

   "You kid, what a little fox.

Fine! That's it.

  I will visit Mr. Secretary of the Army tomorrow, so you are satisfied now! "

   Fang Lang originally stated his intentions directly, of course he minds, General Crook's teasing of him.

   smiled and said:

   "Hey, why am I satisfied?

   Isn't this something that everyone is satisfied with?

   Didn't you also solve the problem of not having money to build a naval school? "

  General Crook gave Fang Lang a thumbs up, smiled and said:

   "You are right, we are all satisfied."

  To be honest, he likes this subordinate from the bottom of his heart, and wants to train him to be his successor.

  So, a lot of things respect his opinion very much.

   But liking him doesn't mean not hitting him.

  So immediately put on a serious tone:

   "I can tell you, I handed over the aircraft carrier to you, so don't screw me up when the time comes.

  Knowing that you lack pilots now, you cannot make the aircraft carrier form combat effectiveness.

  I will give you enough time to train your own aircraft carrier pilots.

  However, other positions on the aircraft carrier cannot lie down and sleep.

   From time to time, let your aircraft carrier go to the coast to cruise for me.

   Show your face internationally and give you a sense of presence.

   Let the crew of the aircraft carrier quickly familiarize themselves with their new equipment.

   Also be more familiar with the hydrogeographical conditions of our Brazilian waters. Understand? "

   Fang Lang understood that this was a reminder to himself that he couldn't just focus on the aviation soldiers and forget about his own job.

   Quickly got up, stood at attention and saluted:

"Yes, sir."

  General Crook was very satisfied with Fang Lang's attitude, and he would never smile hippie when it was time to be serious.

   When fighting a war, there is no ambiguity.

   Nodded to Fang Lang, pressed his hands and said:

   "Well! There is one more thing you don't forget.

  Now we have the latest American aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and submarines in our hands.

  We can't let them stay in the military port or patrol every day. We have to send various warships to the shipyard in turn for overhaul and maintenance in batches.

do you understand me? "

   How could Fang Lang not understand what General Crook meant.

   Isn't this just to ask your own shipyard to pull the tape measure, study these warships, and gain some construction and design experience from them.

   Laying the groundwork for building your own warship?

   Without General Crook's explanation, one of Fang Lang's purposes for building a shipyard in Brazil was to build warships.

  So, without hesitation, he said:

   "Yes, Your Excellency General.

  I am preparing to apply to you to send our U21 submarine to Sao Paulo for maintenance. "
