Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 672 Benefit exchange

   Guilherme Carrassa nodded when he saw Fang Lang, admitted what Adams Teach said, and finally raised his doubts.

Fang Lang had already prepared for this question, but he also knew very well in his heart that no matter how he explained it, Guilherme Carrassa in front of him would not really believe it. After all, what men want is nothing more than power, money, and beauties . Who would have believed that anyone could relinquish low-lying power?

  So, after a little thought, he decided not to answer his question directly, but pointed to Adams Teach beside him, and introduced to Guilherme Carrassa:

   "General Adams Teach will serve as the Chief of Staff of the Admiralty, and I am still too young, so I will serve as the Deputy Secretary of the Admiralty under you!"

  Hearing this, Guilherme Carrassa's eyes froze for a moment, staring at Fang Lang closely, and his heart began to surge with anger.

  What does this mean, tell yourself clearly, is he, the Minister of the Navy, just a display? The deputy minister is Fang Lang, and the chief of staff, Adams Teach, has just told himself clearly that Fang Lang is his boss, so will he, the Minister of the Navy, be directly emptied when he sits on it?

  Some people may think that in such a large department of the Ministry of the Navy, besides the deputy minister and the chief of staff, there are many other senior officers! After he has the name of Minister of the Navy, can't he cultivate his own power?

  But my family knows my own affairs. As a general who has been a logistics officer, his influence on the naval combat force is actually very low, because the army is a very special place. Here the strong are respected, your strength is strong, you can fight and win battles, and everyone will obey you.

   If you don't even know how to fight, who will think of you among those arrogant soldiers! Compared with Fang Lang, it can be said that I have no advantage at all in this regard, so what can I use to compete with the opponent.

   As for using money to buy the hearts of the people below, there is no need to think about it. Even he himself is still waiting for the people below to give him filial piety! How could he use money to buy the hearts of the people below, and how could he be richer than Fang Lang.

  So, although Fang Lang's words were not stated clearly, the meaning has been expressed very clearly.

   It’s not that I can’t be the Minister of the Navy, but whether I do it or not, the power can be in my own hands. Now I will be the deputy secretary of the navy for a few years, and then I will be the secretary of the navy after two years of age.

  The entire Ministry of the Navy can develop under his control for many years, and by then, the navy will inevitably become Fang Lang's territory completely.

  Thinking of this, Guilherme Carrassa couldn't help feeling dizzy. This young Rear Admiral is really deep in his thoughts!

   But if he wants to let him give in so easily, he is of course unwilling, so he couldn't help but sneered and said:

   "I just said that General Fang and I have no relatives and no reason, how could he treat me so well all of a sudden! It turns out that I am the easiest to control!

  Then I may have to disappoint General Fang. The Minister of the Navy without real power is not attractive to me. I'd better continue to manage my logistics department! "

   Regarding Guilherme Carrassa's refusal, Fang Lang had no surprises, and no one would be willing to be a puppet for others. He had already expected this, which is why he called Adams Teach to come here today.

  As soon as his voice fell, Adams Teach on the side had already spoken unceremoniously.

   "Hehe... General Karasa, I think you must have misunderstood something. If you are unwilling to cooperate with the boss, then you are ready to go to the military court!

You have been the Minister of Logistics in the Ministry of the Navy for so many years, and your illegal income has reached more than three million US dollars. I have detailed accounts here. If you have time, we can check it and see if it compares with your own accounts. There is no discrepancy.

  By the way, you bought that villa in the United States for two years and haven’t lived in it yet! It's a pity that it's so cheap for others! "

As soon as this remark came out, General Guilherme Carrasa, who had just looked disdainful, paled instantly. It is normal for the Brazilian army to be corrupt, but if someone gets the evidence and directly exposes it, then his life will be terrible. ruined.

  At this time, he finally understood why Fang Lang was so calm. It turned out that his destiny was no longer in his control.

  Since I was selected by the opponent, I have only two choices, either obey the opponent's arrangement and become the Minister of the Navy with great glory. Or go to court-martial, become a model of the Department of the Navy's anti-corruption struggle, and be thrown in prison.

   As for whether the other party is defrauding himself, General Guilherme Carrassa is not so naive. If he guesses how much money he has embezzled, it may be a random nonsense.

  But the villa in the United States is very secretive, even his wife doesn't know about it, but the other party knows it clearly, how can this not make him terrified.

   In just one breath, Dou Da's cold sweat had already covered his entire forehead in drops, and his whole body was soaked instantly, and he had no strength at all.

   "You, you, what do you want to do?"

   Seeing the other party like this, Adams Teach also looked disdainful, and he didn't take this colleague who was about to be pushed by the boss to the position of Secretary of the Navy at all. The tone is cold and authentic:

   "Shame on you, do you think the boss is idle? Let you go up, because he thinks highly of you, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine."

The original relationship between the two was not very good. Adams Teach said such words without any psychological pressure at all. He had also heard of Guilherme Carrassa's greed, but he did not expect the other party to be so greedy. many.

   When he first took over the material from Fang Lang, he was also taken aback. Three million dollars is an astronomical sum in this era. There may be oil and water scraped from his body in it. How can we not make him angry.

  So, when Fang Lang asked him to sing this bad face, he was very proactive.

  Seeing that Guilherme Carrassa's face was ugly by Adams Teach's words, but he didn't dare to refute at all, Fang Lang stood up and sang red face with a big smile, and smoothed things over:

   "Haha... Don't mind General Karasa. General Tiqi was born as a leader of the army. He is a little impatient and speaks bluntly. I apologize to you on his behalf.

  We are all friends, even for the sake of General Leta, we would not do such a thing. "

  Fang Lang said it politely, but Guilherme Carrassa really didn't believe a word in his heart. If it was really for the sake of General Leta, why did you collect my criminal evidence!

   Besides, he, Guilherme Carrassa, is not an idiot. The two of you sang and sang together, and you were wearing a pair of pants. If you can’t see this trick, he will have lived in vain all these years.

   But even if he could see it, what could he say? The problem now is that the other party has no fear at all, and I am the fish on their chopping board, and I can handle it as I want.

  So, he could only force a wry smile with an ugly face, looked at Fang Lang and said:

   "Aren't General Fang afraid that I will cause trouble for you when I become the Minister of the Navy?"

   Hearing the words, before Fang Lang could speak, Adams Teach on the side suddenly got up and angrily said:

"you dare!"

   Seeing Adams Teach looking like he was about to rush up to fight, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and pressed down on him, signaling the other party to calm down, and then slowly said:

   "Adams, don't get excited, General Karratha won't, he is not alone, there is a whole logistics system behind him, if he really does this, their own people will not be able to spare him first.

   At that time, he will have no place to stand. "

As soon as this remark came out, Guilherme Carrassa was shocked. He could understand the meaning of Fang Lang's words, which was equivalent to telling the other party clearly that his position as the puppet Minister of the Navy was not just his business. It is also related to the interests of their entire faction.

  If he didn't understand why General Leta had the opportunity to attack the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense, then he understands everything now. Obviously, it was Fang Lang's forces who supported the opponent behind his back, which gave the opponent this confidence.

  And his position and power as the Minister of the Navy may be part of the deal.

  After thinking this through, he just felt cold all over his body, and felt a burst of despair. A person who can reach his current stage cannot accept being a mere puppet anyway, but now it seems that he really has no choice.

  After seeing Fang Lang's movements, Adams Teach stopped, but looked at this ignorant guy with cold eyes,

  After hearing Fang Lang's words, he was also horrified, and secretly said that his boss was powerful, and he did not hug the wrong thigh.

   Fang Lang saw that Guilherme Carrassa's face was pale, and he looked unloved. Knowing that the suppression was almost over, Fang Lang took the initiative to say again:

   "General Karasa, in fact, my friends all know what kind of person I am. I have never been a person who takes profits alone. Compared to eating alone, I prefer to share profits with my friends.

  What is your real purpose for wanting to be the Minister of the Navy? If you don’t tell me, we all know it clearly. In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome at all.

  Even if you don’t have the power of the Secretary of the Navy, I can still make you money, even more than what you earn as the Secretary of the Navy. "

   Hearing this, Guilherme Carrassa, whose face was extremely ugly, gradually gained some luster in his eyes, and there was also a trace of expectation in Fang Lang's eyes.

   Seeing Fang Lang stop talking, he took a bite of the dish unhurriedly, but his eyes were waiting for his reaction. He understood that the other party was waiting for him.

  At this time, Guilherme Carrassa had only one thought in his mind, that is, life is like being trapped, if there is no way to resist, it is better to lie down and enjoy it.

   As if grasping the last straw, he swallowed hard, and then slowly said:

   "What did General Fang say?"

  He didn't deny that he was just trying to make money. After all, Fang Lang and the others had already revealed all his cards, and denying it made no sense.

   Fang Lang saw that he took the initiative to ask what he meant by what he said, so he knew that the other party had basically agreed with his idea, and now he just wanted to see if the step he had given was really suitable.

   Fang Lang, who understood this, stopped hiding and said directly:

   "In the future, as the leading brother of our Brazilian Navy, you will naturally represent our Brazilian Navy and promote the image of our Brazilian Navy everywhere.

  Then what good things can our Brazilian Navy have now? Is it our aircraft carrier fleet? Of course not, how much role can an aircraft carrier play in modern naval battles? Nothing works, and the symbolic significance is far greater than the actual combat significance.

   If you really want to form a combat force, without about five aircraft carriers, it will be difficult for you to even provide an effective landing support.

   So what does our Brazilian Navy have? I think we have just completed the domestically produced destroyer. This warship is a complete imitation of the American Fletcher-class destroyer. Not only is it almost the same as the original American version in terms of function and strength, it is not an emergency product produced by the American war dead. The quality is quite guaranteed.

   More importantly, the brand new warships we manufacture are cheaper than the second-hand warships of the Yankees, and they are definitely the king of cost performance.

   If General Karasar has any doubts about this point, you can ask General Tichi, I believe you will be able to get a satisfactory answer. "

   Hearing Fang Lang say that his aircraft carrier fleet could not even support landing operations, General Karasa did not believe it. Although the number of an aircraft carrier is indeed insufficient, it is definitely not so bad.

Don't compare the aircraft carriers of this era with those of later generations. After all, the amount of ammunition carried by aircraft in this era is completely incomparable with that of later generations. If an aircraft takes off with a bomb, it can often only carry one heavy bomb. Later generations always use tons as the unit of measurement, which is completely different.

  In addition, because the aircraft has a small bomb load, low take-off weight, and short take-off distance, the requirements for aircraft carriers are not high. Many aircraft carriers on both sides during World War II were even refitted from large cargo ships.

   Therefore, the aircraft carrier under Fang Lang's command is not strong, and Fang Lang is not lying.

  But the real significance of this aircraft carrier fleet does not lie in its combat effectiveness, but in setting a precedent for the Brazilian Navy. In the future, if the Navy needs more aircraft carrier fleet commanders, where will they find them?

   Needless to say, it is definitely under Fang Lang's command. By then, the navy will be full of his old subordinates. This is the real confidence of Fang Lang's aircraft carrier fleet.

   "But what does that have to do with me?"

   After listening to Fang Lang's long speech, Guilherme Carrassa really didn't understand what Fang Lang wanted to express, so he could only interrupt directly.

   Seeing this, Fang Lang understood that the other party had no patience to listen to him continue to say more, and he was not angry. He just smiled and went straight to the topic:

"If you want to make a lot of money, I can authorize you to sell our imitation Fletcher-class destroyer. We promise to only charge the cost price for all the warships sold by you. As for your sales price, we don't care at all. .

  In this way, not only can you make money, but you can also use your status as the Minister of the Navy to expand the influence of our Brazilian Navy around the world.

  I guarantee that both the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of National Defense will fully support this matter. "

  Hearing this, Guilherme Carrassa was dumbfounded. He looked at Fang Lang incredulously, and almost couldn't help blurting out a curse word in his heart.

  He has never seen such a brazen person before, this is not an opportunity for him to make a lot of money, it is clearly to let himself be a salesman for their family! Without thinking about this kind of thing, he shook his head and said:

   "General Fang, do I look that stupid? Or am I particularly easy to bully?"

   Seeing this situation, Fang Lang's expression was also stagnant, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly adjusted again, and continued to speak:

   "Hey... General Karasa, don't worry, this is just one of my plans! I know that many people may not buy our imitation Fletcher-class destroyer.

   But what if a few of us push the Brazilian Navy together to replace the existing old destroyers? Every time the Brazilian Navy purchases one of our self-made imitation Fletchers, Fangyuan Shipyard guarantees that a sum of money will enter your designated account.

  In addition, all the warships eliminated by us will also be handed over to you. What do you think? As for whether you should dispose of it according to the price of scrap iron or refurbish it and sell it outside, General Tiqi and I guarantee that we will not participate.

  Do you think this business is profitable? "

  Fang Lang finally saw it, and he knew very well in his heart that it must be very difficult to simply ask Guilherme Carrassa to help him sell warships abroad.

   But through his own relationship, he pushed the Brazilian Navy to purchase by itself, and with his own support, there would be absolutely no problems.

And the ones who can really make a lot of money must be the warships retired from the Brazilian Navy. At that time, if they are sold to some countries with not particularly strong funds, the money he can earn by Guilherme Carrassa will go to the sea. up.

  More importantly, this kind of routine of selling active equipment in his hands is even more handy for him, who has been in charge of logistics for so many years.

   Sure enough, as soon as Fang Lang finished speaking, Guilherme Carrassa's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Fang Lang in disbelief. Of course he understood what he meant.

  Although Fang Lang can express his attitude, neither he nor General Tiqi participated in the disposal of decommissioned warships, which meant to avoid risks. But he is good at this kind of thing! At the same time, he knew very well in his heart what a huge profit this was, so he couldn't help but be tempted.

   Staring at Fang Lang for a long time, seeing that the other party was always looking at him with a smile on his face, and his eyes didn't mean to dodge, he understood that this was the other party's transaction terms.

   "Are you sure, General Fang?"

   Seeing Guilherme Carrassa looking at him with a serious expression and a serious tone, Fang Lang knew in his heart that this matter should be done, so he couldn't help smiling slightly, and said frankly:

"certainly!"

  Hearing this, Guilherme Carrassa finally had a faint smile on his face, and slowly got up and stretched out his right hand to Fang Lang:

   "Happy cooperation, Mr. Deputy Minister!"

   Fang Lang also laughed when he saw this, and slowly got up and held the other party's outstretched hand:

   "Congratulations, Mr. Secretary of the Navy!"

   Then the two looked at each other and smiled.

  Adams Tiche, who was on the side, couldn't help but shrugged helplessly when he saw the two men working together.

  He is not disgusted with this matter. After all, the domestically produced Fletcher-class destroyer was imitated with his participation, and he is very confident in the quality of the product.

  The large-scale commissioning of this warship is also an affirmation of his work, and of course he will not stop it.

  At the same time, there is no harm for him to use this warship to replace the current old-fashioned warship. As for how much naval military expenditure will be consumed, it is not something he can stop.
