Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 92 New Position New Task

   Colonel Parisi's ability is definitely not a problem, as can be seen from the ideas he gave Fang Lang. Although, the Brazilian Expeditionary Force Navy is small in size and has no combat effectiveness.

  However, to be able to be transferred out to be in charge of the management of the expeditionary navy will definitely not be an ordinary person. Therefore, Fang Lang really felt a little pity about his retirement.

   After thinking about it, he said:

"You are in the prime of life, so it's not okay to start enjoying retirement so early. You are from the navy. Let's invest in a fishing company in Alegre together. Buy it with hundreds of fishing boats, go out to sea to catch fish, and catch big fish. How about the lobster.

  By the way, you can also continue to be your own naval commander, how about it? "

   This is really what Fang Lang just thought of, and it is suitable for Parisi's work. After all, Brazil has a long coastline, relying on the big Atlantic Ocean, it is impossible not to reach out to the ocean!

   "Hey! This proposal is okay! I have no problem with management. However, so many fishing boats can get a lot of seafood, and we Brazilians don't have a high demand for seafood!"

   This is really not Parisi’s evasion. Brazil’s coastline stretches for more than 7,000 kilometers, ranking 16th in the world, and its fresh water resources account for 20% of the world’s total.

   Fishery resources are very rich, with more than 2,500 species of fish resources. However, Brazilians who advocate freedom and are good at enjoying life have special requirements for food. They like to eat a lot of meat. It is more appropriate to describe Brazilians as "no meat, no joy".

  Under the influence of long-term immigrant culture, Brazil has formed a unique eating habit. In the Brazilian food tradition, black bean rice, cassava bread, and Brazilian barbecue are the protagonists.

   Except for some seafood eaten in coastal areas, it is basically difficult to see seafood in inland areas. This is somewhat similar to the situation in China.

  But Fang Lang never thought about how much seafood he would sell in Brazil. The real big seafood consumers have always been European and American countries.

   "What does it matter! We can make chilled or canned food and sell them to European and American markets! This is a good business that earns US dollars. You don't have to worry about the sales, I will take care of it. How? Are you interested in trying it?"

  Fang Lang's proposal, Colonel Parisi was really tempted. He is an old navy and has been floating in the sea all his life. It would definitely be uncomfortable to ask him to come back home and be a farmer suddenly.

   Just when the two were about to continue chatting, Parisi's adjutant came in and reported:

   "Sir, Rear Admiral Crook of the Admiralty is coming soon."

   "Oh! Fang, then let's go down to meet him!"

   Speaking of which, Colonel Parisi got up and stood up.

  Fang Lang also got up right after him, and after tidying up the folds on the military uniform, he strode to the door to greet him.

  Not long after the two arrived at the door, they saw three black Buick cars driving outside.

   A major officer got off the co-pilot seat of the vehicle in the middle, nodded to the two, and opened the rear door.

   Colonel Parisi and Fang Lang hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.

I saw a gray-haired Caucasian major general in his fifties getting out of the car. Although Mr. Major General is white, his complexion looks a bit modern and tanned. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses makes him look a bit gentle. , However, the straight back makes it easy for people to see the person's military background.

  Colonel Parisi was the first to speak:

   "General Crook, good morning! You have worked hard all the way!"

  Major General Crook extended his right hand and shook Parisi, nodded and said:

   "Colonel Parisi, good morning! This is Major Fang Lang!"

   As he spoke, he looked at Fang Lang who was standing aside.

  Fang Lang also stood at attention and said loudly:

   "Report Your Excellency, General, I am Fang Lang, Captain of the Expeditionary Navy House. Welcome!"

  General Crook laughed loudly after hearing Fang Lang's words:

   "Fang, you are so young! Come on, let's go in and talk."

   As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gave Fang Lang a firm shake. He pulled Fang Lang and started walking towards the office building.

  Fang Lang hurriedly followed, and after General Crook let go, he was a body behind and walked towards the office building together.

  Colonel Parisi led the way, and soon brought everyone to a conference room that had been furnished. More than 20 officers were already seated in the meeting room, except for five officers who were field officers, most of them were lieutenant officers.

  Here should be all the officers of the entire Brazilian Expeditionary Navy.

   Following the command to stand up, everyone stood up straight.

  General Crook came to the main seat, looked at the people in the meeting room, and pressed his hands down, motioning for everyone to sit down. Everyone slammed and sat down.

   "Everyone, I have three things to announce to you when I come here today. First of all, we want to congratulate Fang Lang, Lieutenant Commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, who was promoted to the rank of colonel by the Brazilian Navy Ministry. Let us all applaud and congratulate!"

  Everyone looked at Fang Lang with burning eyes, with shock, admiration, envy, and jealousy in their eyes.

  Although Fang Lang had expected it a long time ago, Fang Lang still felt excited when this moment came. He stood up quickly and gave a military salute to everyone.

  The major officer who followed General Crook came to Fang Lang's side with a gift box in his hand and stood still. Major General Crook also came over, picked up the colonel's rank on the gift box, and pinned it to Fang Lang's collar himself.

   "Colonel Fang, thank you for your excellent performance in the European War and the achievements you have achieved. It has attracted the attention of the world and made all Brazilian soldiers proud of you. I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve better results."

   After finishing speaking, he saluted Fang Lang.

  Fang Lang also quickly returned the gift and said:

   "Thank you and the country for your trust, I will definitely live up to my mission and create greater glories."

   After the ceremony, Crook shook hands with Fang Lang again with a smile, and gently patted Fang Lang's arm with his left hand. A boy I like your expression very much. Make others envious.

  After the conferment of the title was completed, General Crook returned to the main seat, took out a document again and said:

   "Then let's announce the second thing, everyone stand up!"

  With a sound of "shua", all your officers in the conference room stood up and looked at General Crook with serious faces.

   After looking around for a week, General Crook read aloud:

   "Order, from now on, Colonel Fang Lang is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Brazilian Navy's First Fleet, responsible for the establishment and management of the First Fleet's overall work.

  This Order, Ministry of Defense and Navy of the Federative Republic of Brazil, June 1, 1945. "

  After the reading, General Crook transferred the commission and announced it to everyone. Then he handed his hands to Fang Lang, who was already fighting.

   Regarding this appointment, General Morais has also disclosed it to Fang Lang in advance, including Colonel Parisi.

  However, the other officers on the scene were not clear, and they couldn't help but cast their eyes on Fang Lang. After all, no one knows the exact size and scale of the Brazilian Navy's First Fleet.

   And Fang Lang himself doesn't know now, so he definitely can't answer it for everyone. After receiving the letter of appointment, Fang Lang didn't say much, but said loudly after a salute:

   "Yes, General!"

   Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Fang Lang to sit down, General Crook took out an order again and read it aloud:

   "Order, the Commander of the First Fleet, Guan Lang, will lead all the warships of the First Fleet to Saipan Island before July 1, join the Fifth US Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, and participate in the Pacific War.

  This Order, Ministry of the Navy of the Federative Republic of Brazil, June 1, 1945. "

   After speaking and showing the order to everyone again, he handed his hands to Fang Lang who was still standing there.

   This order was completely beyond Fang Lang's expectations. Didn't you mean to join the British Pacific Fleet? Why has it become a battle order to join the U.S. Navy now!

  It seems that many twists and turns happened in these two weeks! However, this has nothing to do with Fang Lang, as long as he is sure that he can participate in the Pacific War.

  I couldn't help shouting loudly in my heart:

   "Gou Ri's little devil, your grandpa Fang is here. I want to ride Mount Fuji."

  Definitely can't show it on the surface, suppressing the excitement in my heart. After a standard military salute, he said loudly in as calm a tone as possible:

   "Yes, General!"

   Next, Fang Lang was completely unclear about what General Crook said, because his mind was filled with the excitement of being able to step on Mount Fuji.

  When the meeting ended, everyone came up to shake his hand and say goodbye, and he was in a trance the whole time. After everyone left, he was going to leave with them.

  Just as he walked to the door, he was grabbed by Colonel Parisi before he realized it.
