Chapter 659 Visit by the Secretary of the Navy(2/2)
Otherwise, do you think I, a man with a naval background, have a chance to become Deputy Minister of Defense?
It is precisely because of your military exploits that I dare to propose that you serve as Minister of the Navy. Otherwise, the saliva within the Navy will drown me."
"Your Majesty General, does he have a better place to go?"
Seeing this, General Crook did not rush it. He knew that this was an important decision and it was necessary to carefully consider the pros and cons.
General Crook looked at Fang Lang with a playful smile, his expression gradually faded, and he slowly said with a serious face:
This is definitely a rare opportunity for General Crook.
Looking at Fang Lang's serious expression, General Crook knew that Fang Lang was now seriously considering his proposal.
Fang Lang, who was serving tea to General Crook with a flattering look on his face, was stunned when he heard this. The hand holding the justice cup stopped in mid-air, and he looked at General Crook in disbelief.
"So, you have decided to leave the Admiralty, right?"
"You did it on purpose! I don't believe you didn't hear anything."
Fang Lang tentatively said:
"Is this preparing you to be the new Minister of Defense?"
Seeing that Fang Lang had made the topic clear, General Crook stopped being secretive, picked up the teacup handed over by Fang Lang, took a sip gently, and then glared at Fang Lang angrily and said:
If he is a general with high prestige in the military, then the defense minister can be considered a powerful figure.
Seeing Fang Lang's curious face and a hint of expectation in his eyes, General Crook smiled slightly, knocked on the tea table in front of him, and signaled Fang Lang to add some tea to him before saying:
As for whether the new president will agree to this appointment, he is not worried at all. As long as the Ministry of National Defense proposes it, the new president will never dare not accept his favor.
He talked to me and hoped that I could work in the Ministry of Defense."
At the same time, he was really considering Fang Lang's suggestion. Fang Lang couldn't help but appreciate this. He also noticed that General Crook had his thoughts on his whereabouts.
Besides, if you don’t work as a civilian in the Ministry of Defense for a few years, how can you have the opportunity to serve as the Minister of Defense.”
"Your Excellency General, you are serious. If you have any orders, just give them directly. How can I trouble you to go there in person?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Lang immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that Marshal Moraes was preparing to step down as Minister of Defense and wanted to complete the adjustment of the Ministry of National Defense's duties before resigning.
But in fact, whoever really takes this statement seriously is a real fool.
But since I have nominated you for the position, I am naturally confident that I will push you forward."
Now General Crook could be considered as confiding in Fang Lang. It has to be said that General Crook really had nothing to say to Fang Lang. Not only did he promote him exceptionally, he became the only one in Brazil in just two years.
The commander-in-chief of an aircraft carrier battle group.
Now they have to work hard to send him to the position of Minister of the Navy. Although the business that Fang Lang and he did in partnership has made their family a lot of profits, Fang Lang believes that the other party values him so highly, and it is definitely not for this reason.
.
He believed in his ability, but sparing no effort to support him just because of his military ability was obviously not enough.
