Chapter 39 Surprise

Fang Lang, who returned to the ship, quickly put these things behind him, and learned about his business in the United States and Italy through the telegram on the ship. After Wan Chongxin in the United States got in touch with Fang Lang, he said that Fang Lang asked The factory equipment I was looking for has been found, and the ship can be arranged for shipment at any time, but considering the safety of shipping, it is recommended to wait for the boss's transport fleet to transport it by itself.

  Fang Lang also arranged for Wan Chongxin to find penicillin production equipment in the United States and understand the process, and asked whether it was possible to establish a penicillin production plant in Brazil, even if it was only a small-scale factory.

  Mr. Cohens from Italy said that he has received the details of the goods sent by the Brazilian branch, and has begun to look for buyers in Italy. At the same time, two cigarette distributors have been found in France, and they can start negotiations with each other only after Fang Lang returns to Italy.

  Fang Lang directly asked Kerns to negotiate with the French dealer himself, and he only needed to go back to confirm the contract and give his father-in-law full trust.

  Finally, Fang Lang sent a telegram to Commodore Jackson, saying that he would continue to buy ten transport ships, and asked if Commodore Jackson had any in stock.

   Of course, Commodore Jackson would not refuse the door-to-door business, and directly stated that the original price and the original routine can be delivered at any time. Fang Lang notified Mr. Kerns to go to the Ministry of the Navy to sign the ship purchase contract.

Soon, after gathering his three transport ships, the long-awaited **** fleet finally arrived. Fang Lang took his own fleet again and was escorted to Natal by the Brazilian Navy, then joined other ships and headed to Italy on the same route .

Every time crossing the Atlantic Ocean is a test of life and death. Those who can break through layers of blockades and reach their destination are true heroes. Unfortunately, there is no Brazilian welcome ceremony in Italy this time. It is just a major of the Brazilian Expeditionary Army. With a few trucks, they picked up the supplementary soldiers on board.

   Fang Lang went to Colonel Atilio Parisi to report on his own.

   "Reporting officer, Lieutenant Fang Lang reports to you that the transport ship Gilas has successfully completed its transport mission, please give instructions!" Fang Lang said standing in front of Colonel Parisi in a standard military posture.

   "Lieutenant Fang, come in quickly, don't be too polite, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

   Sure enough, after the baptism of local products, it is different. This time, Colonel Parisi and Colonel Parisi that Fang Lang met for the first time are completely different.

"Yes, sir!"

"Fang, I heard that this time, you not only successfully completed the transportation task, but also achieved a great event! A commendation telegram has been sent from China! The expeditionary army headquarters have also sent praise. It seems that Fang you We will be ready to pick the stars soon!"

  Looking at the smiling Colonel Parisi, Fang Lang was in a daze. I knew that I had done something big. It should be a matter of Japanese spies, but what does picking a star mean! He hinted that he was going to be promoted, but he was only a lieutenant now! Even if you want to be promoted, you are still a captain! At most, the captain is adding an extra flower! How can you pick the stars!

   "Reporting sir, the subordinate is just lucky, just happened to meet two Japanese spies, I really can't deserve your praise!"

"Luck is also a kind of ability! You don't have to be too humble. You just came back, and I have two more good news for you. First, in view of your excellent performance in this transportation mission, Lieutenant Colonel Graham, Ask General Morais for your credit, and after the approval of the Expeditionary Force Command, you will be awarded the rank of Captain of the Navy. This rank should have been awarded to you half a month ago. But because you are performing missions in the Atlantic Ocean, now I will grant it to you. Congratulations, Captain Fang Lang."

   Seeing Colonel Parisi's face gradually become serious, Fang Lang quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, sir!"

  What is a surprise? This is a surprise. Lieutenant Colonel Graham really did what he said. At the beginning, I said that as long as Fang Lang solves the problem of the transport ship for him, he will apply for a promotion reward from his superiors. The last time Colonel Parisi added a flower to Fang Lang by mistake, Fang Lang thought it was wrong. will be upgraded. Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to Italy, I received such a big surprise. I just transferred from the infantry army to the navy less than five months ago, and I was promoted three ranks in a row and became a navy captain. It's like a heifer visiting relatives - awesome as hell.

Looking at Fang Lang with a surprised face, Colonel Parisi smiled and put on his collar patch and said: "Young man, it's too early to be happy, and there is a big surprise waiting for you tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, bring your big Deputy, you all report to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters!"

"Yes, sir!"

  Hearing Colonel Parisi's words, Fang Lang had already started to mutter in his heart, no way! No way! It's not over yet, this is the rhythm of taking off! But if he really picks a star, will he not be able to serve as the captain of the Gilas? I don't know what position I will be assigned next.

  What Fang Lang didn't know was that Lieutenant Colonel Graham was also reporting Fang Lang's situation to General Morais at this time:

   "General, as far as I know, Fang Lang has a close relationship with Commodore Jackson of the US Navy, who is called his uncle and nephew. He even has a close relationship with an American company called Global Trading Co., Ltd."

   "Oh! I didn't expect our Brazilian expeditionary force to have such a guy with such a deep background in the United States, but it turned out that he didn't show that he had such a deep background when he was in the army!"

Major General Morais is the commander-in-chief of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. Although he only has the rank of Major General, he is also the Marshal of the Brazilian Army. He has great power. It can be said that it is very easy to know the information of his subordinates. According to the situation in the army, Fang Lang did not receive special care from the United States before he was injured!

"This is exactly where my subordinates are confused, but the appearance of Fang Lang also solved the problem of the transport ship for us. I always think that the reason why Commodore Jackson agreed to assign us a transport ship is because Fang Lang happens to be the captain. Otherwise, we had asked so many times, but never agreed once, but as soon as Fang Lang appeared, the U.S. Navy immediately agreed to assign us a transport ship, and asked Fang Lang, who passed their assessment, to be the captain. This Didn't it make it clear that this transport ship was prepared for Fang Lang?"

   Not to mention, according to Lieutenant Colonel Graham's analysis, there is really nothing wrong with it. If Fang Lang is on the side, he has to agree that Graham's analysis is very reasonable.

   "Then what do you think we should arrange for him if we promote him to major this time?"

   Morais lowered his head and picked up his own pipe to light. Through the flickering smoke, his sharp eyes became a little unpredictable.

"I don't know if the general agrees to let me test Fang Lang's attitude. What I mean is, since the Americans are willing to provide us with a transport ship in order to arrange for him to be a transport captain on our side, if we Give him a higher position, will the Americans"

Obviously, Lieutenant Colonel Graham is definitely General Morais's confidant, and he has a very accurate grasp of General Morais' thoughts, because following Lieutenant Colonel Graham's speech, General Morais's slightly incomprehensible gaze There, a trace of unnoticed smile flashed across the room. Although this trace of smile was fleeting, it still did not escape Lieutenant Colonel Graham's eyes.

   "I don't know if Fang Lang is capable of serving as the captain of a destroyer!"

  Morais's tone was leisurely, moving from far to near. He didn't know if he was worried or he was talking to himself, but his voice was just right enough to reach Lieutenant Colonel Graham's ears.

  But Lieutenant Colonel Graham continued to speak as if he hadn’t heard anything:

"I heard that Fang Lang's Gilas has already docked. I don't know how you think about the new captain of the Gilas? Will we continue to lease ships from Global Trade this time when we return to Brazil? If we rely on the Gilas alone I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to quickly transport our backlog of spoils back to Brazil!"

   "Didn't you put one of your men on the Gilas when it was established? Is he confident that he can control this transport ship now?"

  The person they were talking about was obviously the current second officer of the Gilas, Norbertlu Fendis, the guy who turned from the logistics department to the second officer of the transport ship.

   "Your Excellency, General, you really look like a torch. This person is indeed my man. Don't worry, even if he is not sure about controlling this transport ship, I believe that there will be no problem with the current chief officer."

   Obviously, Lieutenant Colonel Graham already has plans for the future of the Gilas in his heart.

   "Then it's up to you to talk to Fang Lang! You must fully seek his opinion on the new captain candidate, can't you understand?"
