Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 665

  As the presidential election approached, General Leta became very anxious for no reason. He had been the Minister of Logistics for many years, and he had not experienced a presidential change.

  But the situation this time is a bit different. When the current President Dutra came to power, although he passed an election, everyone knows that this so-called election is just a formality.

  Let his superior have legal legitimacy, in fact, it is simply a military coup to come to power. Although because of the unexpected riots of the Japanese, this coup did not look like a coup. But in the hearts of these senior military officers, they are very clear about the actual situation.

  But this Mr. President, who came to power through a military coup, did not know what to think. He actually regarded himself as the president of a democratically elected government, and implemented a more democratic policy in Brazil than the previous president.

  At the same time, he also gave up the capital of his superiority, that is, the army, and began to devote himself to politics and curry favor with the Americans all day long. Later, he directly announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, and firmly stood in line to the United States.

   But this kind of behavior has obviously caused dissatisfaction among many people in Brazil. After all, no matter how powerful the Americans are, citizens with a little self-esteem will not want to be the followers of the Americans.

   (This situation is similar to the practice of a certain president surnamed Yin in the southern peninsula in the author's reality.)

  It was from this time that Mr. President's approval rating began to decline sharply, but Mr. President didn't seem to be aware of this, or he was aware of it, but he didn't think of a better solution.

   What puzzled General Letta was that President Dutra never thought about stabilizing his position through his influence over the military.

  Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that the current army has been out of his control because of his estrangement. But in any case, President Dutra, who started as the Minister of the Army, still has many old departments in the Army.

   If you want to pull an army out of the army, it is absolutely no problem to control the situation in the capital, but this Mr. President has never thought of this method.

   Instead, he wanted to use political means to stabilize his position, but after a long period of hard work, it still had no effect. In the last two months, Mr. President seems to have chosen to give up the show.

   This made the officers who were originally trusted by the president in the army panic and began to look for a new way out. For a while, people in the army were fluctuating.

  The Department of the Army, which was originally the most powerful in the army, seemed to be falling apart. Even he, the head of the General Logistics Department, felt a bit at a loss. How could this not make him feel anxious.

   On this day, General Leta, who had just finished his day's work, was escorted by the guards, dragging his exhausted body and anxious mood back home.

  As soon as he entered the house, his young wife, Ms. Nessia, pulled him away to the studio without any explanation.

   "Honey, come here, I have something very important to tell you?"

  General Leta, who was physically and mentally exhausted, looked at his young and beautiful wife, and couldn't bear to blame him. I thought that the other party had some new works, and I needed to let myself comment.

   This gave him a headache. To be honest, he still has a clear understanding of the painting level of his young lady. Although now her works are often sold at a high price.

   But these sold paintings will soon be given to themselves in the form of gifts. And in order to save these gifts from others, I had to rent another apartment to save them. And all this can't let his wife know, so as not to hit the other party's self-confidence.

  Although he thought so in his heart, he still forced a smile on his face and said:

   "What's the matter? Honey, is there any new work coming out today?"

But the strange thing is that Nasia, who was always in high spirits in the past, had a strange expression today. She glanced at the room a little mysteriously, and after confirming that no one else was there, she closed the door and said slowly. :

   "No, I didn't paint today, around four o'clock in the afternoon, the owner of the gallery sent me a letter, saying it was from one of my regular customers.

  At first, I thought the other party had something to say to me, but after I opened the envelope, it was an envelope with a wax seal inside. It said on the envelope that it was opened by you, so I didn't open it.

   But why would my client write to you? How is this going? "

  General Leta, who was still a little mentally exhausted, couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the letter in his wife's hand that was sealed with wax.

  As for the old client his wife mentioned, General Leta couldn't confirm who it was for a while, but the other party sent him a letter through this method, obviously hoping to keep it secret.

   Gently patted his wife's slightly nervous back, squeezed a smile on his tired face and said:

   "Don't be nervous, my dear, it should be that this guest knows your identity and wants to convey something to me through you."

   "Ah! Then who could he be? There won't be any bad intentions!"

Hearing that someone might know his identity, Ms. Nessia couldn't help but exclaimed. He didn't think there was any problem with his lover's identity, but he was worried that if these people knew her own identity, would they come? She came to him at home.

   Or say something bad to your husband in the letter.

But in General Leta's heart, it was a completely different feeling. He wasn't worried that someone would harm him, but he was a little curious. If the other party had something to come to him that he couldn't use the normal way, he used this method instead. .

   "Don't worry! It's okay, since someone sent the letter over, can't we see what it is?"

   After finishing speaking, General Leta also took out a soldier's knife, carefully checked the seal of the letter, and opened the envelope directly when he saw that there was no problem.

   It turned out that there was only a simple invitation letter, inviting General Leta to have lunch at noon tomorrow, and the inviter was Fang.

  Others may not understand what this invitation letter means when they see it, but General Leta immediately understood who gave him the invitation letter.

  Because through this channel, there is only one person whose surname is Fang. Although it is a bit strange why Fang Lang invited himself in this way, he is relieved.

  Since it is Fang Lang, there will definitely be no problem, and I can go to the appointment with peace of mind.

  Naisia ​​on the side also saw the contents of the invitation letter clearly, but he didn't know who the other party was, so he was still a little worried, and quickly said:

   "Honey, who is this?"

  General Leta, who was still thinking about Fang Lang's purpose, smiled when he heard this, patted his wife on the back indifferently and said:

   "I've roughly guessed who it is, it doesn't matter, you don't have to worry, just ask me out for dinner."

Hearing that his man had already guessed who it was, Nacia breathed a sigh of relief. After all, sending her a letter through the gallery seemed really strange to him, and the letter was not for himself, but for himself. husband.

   Fortunately, nothing strange happened now.

  At noon the next day, General Letta rarely had lunch in the office of the General Logistics Department, but was driven by the guards and sent him to the entrance of a hotel in Rio de Janeiro.

  As soon as he sent his guards to go back first, a Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of him. Inside was a young mixed-race driver, who nodded to General Leta and said:

   "Mr. Leta, hello! Mr. Fang asked me to pick you up for dinner at home."

  General Leta glanced at the other party, but didn't see anything. Since the other party was waiting for him at this time, he didn't hesitate, opened the car door and walked up.

   There was no words all the way, and soon the vehicle arrived at Fang Lang's manor in Rio de Janeiro. After getting out of the car and seeing Fang Lang waiting at the gate of the manor, General Leta let out a long sigh of relief.

   It's not that Fang Lang wants to pretend to be mysterious. In fact, this is Fang Lang's home. It's not a secret. The reason why Fang Lang is so complicated is that he doesn't want too many people to know that he is in Rio de Janeiro at this time.

  Second, according to General Crook's request, keep this meeting as secret as possible.

   "Haha... General Leta has worked hard! I hope my presumptuous invitation did not cause any trouble to you and your family!"

  General Leta, who had just got out of the car, saw Fang Lang who took the initiative to greet him with an enthusiastic expression on his face. His expression of doubts quickly subsided, with a smile on his face, he shook hands and hugged Fang Lang enthusiastically.

   "Haha... General Fang was joking. As soon as I saw your letter, I knew who was looking for me, but I didn't expect it to be dinner at your home. If I had known, I should have brought a gift to the door."

   Hearing the words, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing. The reason why he sent invitations to the other party through this channel was that it was more secretive. Another very important reason is that this is actually the chain through which General Leta receives benefits.

   is also his important handle. In this way, when I negotiate with him later, even if I don't point out anything, the other party will understand that I have something in his hands.

  Hearing General Leta's politeness, Fang Lang also guided the other party to go inside, while smiling and saying:

   "Haha... It's the best gift for you to come to the banquet, what more gift do you need to prepare.

  We Chinese have an old saying, called your arrival, let the humble house flourish, it is really suitable for this time. "

  Although General Leta didn't understand what Fang Lang's old saying was, he also understood that Fang Lang was welcoming his arrival. He no longer had any hesitation, and strode behind the other party into this exquisite manor full of Chinese characteristics.

  The two talked and laughed all the way through one corridor after another, and came to the restaurant where the guests were entertained. Because the topic they talked about was relatively private this time, they didn't invite other people to accompany them at all.

  So, the restaurant is not big, just a small hall with an Eight Immortals table. At this time, the table of the Eight Immortals has already placed a variety of dishes.

  Although the weight is not large, it has a variety of tricks, which opened the eyes of General Leta, who came for the first time.

   "General Fang, the two of us eat, so we don't need so many dishes!"

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang laughed, and said indifferently:

   "General Leta, don't look at the fact that there are many types of dishes, but each serving is not large, and I am a big-bellied man who practices martial arts, so I eat a lot, so this table will definitely not be wasted.

  Come, this way please, we sat down and chatted while eating. "

   After finishing speaking, he cast another look at Fu Bo behind him, Fu Bo nodded upon seeing this, exited the room, and gently closed the door.

   Soon, there were only Fang Lang and General Leta left in the room. Seeing this, General Leta understood that Fang Lang had some private things to tell him, but he didn't care, and took his seat calmly under Fang Lang's guidance.

  Most people in the West don't like to discuss work while eating, but who made Fang Lang a soul from later generations! The Chinese habit of eating and chatting has been deeply rooted in their bones, and many people in the fleet are now accustomed to this style.

  But General Leta is obviously not used to it, so at the beginning, he just chatted with Fang Lang while seriously tasting the rich food, after three rounds of wine and five flavors.

  Fang Lang felt that the time was almost up, so he took the initiative to start the topic. He didn't hide it, but went straight to the topic:

   "General Leta, have you heard the news that Marshal Morais is retiring?"

As soon as this remark came out, General Leta, who was concentrating on tasting the food, froze in place, looking at Fang Lang in disbelief. As far as he knew, Marshal Morais was not old enough to retire, and his physical condition It's also good that he didn't get any wind at all.

But Fang Lang's words are obviously not groundless. Although Fang Lang is only a rear admiral, General Leta will not look down on him at all, because how the current Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier fleet is built up little by little. The Minister of Logistics couldn't be more clear.

  If other people said such things to him, he might still think about the truth of the matter, but he didn't doubt the news from Fang Lang's mouth at all.

  At the same time, he also had a sense of understanding in his heart. No wonder, recently, he always felt the undercurrent of the Ministry of National Defense, which disturbed his mind. Now finally found the reason.

   "General Fang is serious?"

   Seeing General Leta’s serious face and not seeming to be fake, he understood that the other party should really be ignorant. It seems that this time the Ministry of National Defense’s high-level changes, the secrecy work is really good!

   Fang Lang smiled, picked up a piece of chicken and chewed it in his mouth for a while, then said slowly:

   "I don't know if General Letta thinks that Mr. President Dutra has a chance to be re-elected this time?"

As soon as this remark came out, General Leta immediately understood Fang Lang's meaning. He was really stupid. He didn't even think of such a simple truth. They all said that the emperor and the courtier, since the president has changed, then the Minister of Defense Important ministers, of course, cannot be spared.

  As for Fang Lang's question, the answer is very obvious. It doesn't need to be said by people of his level, even an ordinary Brazilian citizen now has a clear answer to this!

  So, he also shook his head with a wry smile and said:

   "I understand! I didn't see such a simple truth. It seems that I am really old!"

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang smiled slightly, and continued to speak slowly:

   "Normally speaking, Marshal Morais would not decide to retire so early. After all, as Brazil's first marshal, he has made great contributions to our Brazil.

  No matter what the result of the presidential election is, the new president will not move him easily. Therefore, his early retirement was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. "
