Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 121 Ready to Run

  The fire in Tokyo burned for two days and three nights before it was completely extinguished. As for how much damage was caused, Fang Lang didn't worry about it, and it wasn't his turn to worry about it.

  The supply ship full of cargo left the port safely on the night of October 13th, taking away half of the marines, and the remaining soldiers have already driven trucks back to Osaka by land.

  Fang Lang stayed in Tokyo with his adjutants and guards. Of course, this was not detained or anything.

   Instead, the Ministry of the Navy of the Brazilian government has officially ordered Fang Lang to lead his troops to evacuate Japan and return to Brazil. Fang Lang has already prepared for this order, so it is not surprising.

  The reason why Fang Lang still stays in Tokyo is also very simple. The U.S. government promised to sell the warships to the First Fleet of the Brazilian Navy at a low price and deliver them at the Yokosuka Naval Port.

   These include a Cleveland-class cruiser, two Fletcher-class destroyers, and a small shark-class submarine. There are also two tank landing ships presented by the Americans.

  These warships are all meritorious warships that have seen the Pacific Naval War, in other words, they are second-hand goods, but Fang Lang doesn't mind using second-hand goods, as long as they are easy to use.

   What Fang Lang couldn't understand the most was why the Americans sent two tank landing ships to Brazil. Don't they know that Brazil has no tanks at all except for a few tanks in the expeditionary force?

   Sending tank landing ships but not tanks is no different from giving tableware but not food.

  However, these are the results of negotiations between the government officials and the US government. Fang Lang can't say much, at worst, it will be used as a training ship, and he doesn't have to pay for it anyway.

  On October 14th, the crew members arranged by the Brazilian Navy Department flew from Brazil to Tokyo on a US military transport fleet.

  Yes, you read it right, it is the transport fleet, because there are too many people coming over, and the Admiralty is obviously worried about the night and the dream.

   I don't know what price it paid, so the United States arranged nearly 30 transport planes, and transported nearly 1,300 crew members directly from Brazil to report to Fang Lang.

  Fang Lang knew the reason for the eagerness of the Brazilian navy. Obviously, the domestic political situation was already very delicate.

  I have been staying in the hotel arranged by Colonel Jason, and Fang Lang also enjoyed it very much. Because this place happens to be able to see the orange-red fire scene of Jingguo Shrine in the distance.

  Although there was an unpleasant smell in the air, Fang Lang felt that the smell was more refreshing than cigars.

  Looking at the secret numb crowd kneeling outside the toilet of Jingguo God, Fang Lang really wanted to do it again, but unfortunately he could only think about it.

   But looking at the people crying to death in front of the toilet, Fang Lang's heart was more satisfied than ever.

  As the fire in the sacred toilet gradually and completely extinguished, Fang Lang also had to pack up his mood and go to the Yokosuka Naval Port of the US Army to see the specific situation of the battleship first.

   After all, it is not unreasonable to leave more than 1,300 sailors under his command in Colonel Jason's barracks and ignore them, and to concentrate on enjoying a bonfire party.

  In the early morning of October 15th, a light rain washed down the black ash in the sky, making the air, which had been very bad for several days, exude an earthy smell of plant ash, making the air extraordinarily fresh.

  Fang Lang, under the protection of a group of heavily armed guard platoon soldiers, boarded the car and headed to the Yokosuka Naval Base, also in Tokyo Bay.

  Yokosuka was originally the base camp of the Japanese Navy. At the same time, as the first landing point for the United States to land in Japan, a large number of warships of the US Pacific Fleet were docked nearby.

   Therefore, American soldiers can be seen everywhere on the streets of Yokosuka City.

It may be that Fang Lang and the others set off earlier. When Fang Lang came to Yokosuka City, Fang Lang could see from time to time in private houses on the side of the road, some American soldiers were saying goodbye to Japanese girls. Obviously, this is the United States that does not return at night. soldier.

   There are also some soldiers who obviously haven't sobered up and are staggering towards the barracks.

   It is basically difficult to see Japanese men on the street, which made Fang Lang feel as if the whole city was serving American soldiers.

  But this has nothing to do with Fang Lang. What he wants most now is to hurry up and return to Brazil as soon as possible after the handover is completed to stabilize his foundation.

   Soon Fang Lang's motorcade stopped in front of a reinforced concrete office building, which is now the US Naval Command in Japan.

   The first person Fang Lang saw after getting off the car turned out to be John, which made him very puzzled. After all, John is a lieutenant colonel in the logistics department of the Fifth US Aircraft Carrier Fleet.

  However, the current Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet should return to the Hawaiian Naval Port. How could it appear in the US Naval Command in Japan!

   Before Fang Lang could ask his doubts, John had already stepped forward and gave Fang Lang a big hug.

   "Haha Fang, isn't it a surprise!"

   "John, why are you here?"

  Of course I was very happy to see my old friend Fang Lang, so I hugged John tightly.

   "I'm now transferred to the U.S. Naval Command in Japan!"

  John tilted his neck proudly and said.

  Fang Lang thought that his neck was uncomfortable, but after following John's gaze carefully, he found that the oak leaves on the armband of John's military uniform had been replaced with eagle marks.

   "Wow! John, are you already a Navy captain? Congratulations!"

  Seeing that Fang Lang finally discovered the changes in himself, the smile on John's face became even wider, and his expression of satisfaction was beyond words.

   "It's average! Don't expect me to salute you when we meet in the future!"

   This made Fang Lang laugh out loud. He didn't expect John to care so much about this.

  But after thinking about it, I was relieved. After all, when the two separated, John was a major, and Fang Lang was just a second lieutenant.

  By the time the two met on the Pacific battlefield, Fang Lang was already a colonel, and John was only a lieutenant colonel, which made John a little embarrassed.

  Now everyone's military ranks are finally the same, of course John will be very proud!

  It is naturally inappropriate for two senior military officers to laugh and laugh at the gate of the US Navy Command in Japan. Therefore, John took the lead to stop the laughter and said to the other side:

   "Let's go! Let's talk as we walk."

  Fang Lang came here today for business, so he definitely can't go directly to catch up with old friends.

   can only say a little awkwardly:

   "John, you may have to wait for me. I have to go to the headquarters to do some business. When my work is done, I ask you to have a good meal."

  As a result, John laughed and raised the briefcase in his hand and said:

   "Of course there must be a big meal, otherwise your business will not go smoothly!"

   Seeing John's actions, Fang Lang still didn't understand that John was the person in charge of arranging the warship with him!

  This is really a big surprise! If an unfamiliar person is in charge of this work, Fang Lang might have to take out some American native products to open the way for the strength of his fleet.

  However, with the relationship between Fang Lang and John, Fang Lang believes that even if he doesn't say anything, the warship he gets will definitely not be bad.

   "Haha. So you are the one who is in charge of docking with me! Then what are you waiting for, let's set off quickly. I can tell you that if the warship given to me is not a good one, I will not spare you!"

   As he spoke, he directly pulled John into his car.

  John looked at Fang Lang's guard platoon, and couldn't help but enviously said:

   "Why do you have a guard platoon when everyone is a colonel, but I don't have any guards?"

  Fang Lang really can't answer this question, because he doesn't know much about the situation of the US military, and he doesn't know what the situation of a colonel in the US Navy should be.

  But after thinking about it, he still opened his mouth and said:

   "Isn't it simple without a guard? Isn't it enough to pay for a beautiful secretary?"

   As a result, John looked at Fang Lang in surprise and said:

   "How do you know I have a female secretary?"

   Now it's Fang Lang's turn to be envious. American officers can be matched with beautiful secretaries. Are you sure this will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army?

   "You already have a beautiful secretary? Then why don't you bring it out for me to meet, don't be so stingy! Don't worry, our Chinese tradition is that a friend's wife can't be bullied. I will never attack your secretary."

   "Don't worry! You have no chance. She was recommended by my father and is already a mother of two children. Are you sure you want to meet?"

   Upon hearing this, Fang Lang's enthusiasm disappeared instantly.

   "You Americans are so inhumane, how can you let the mother of two children continue to work for you! Why should you be young and beautiful to improve your combat effectiveness!"

  John also nodded in deep agreement:

   "I have the same idea as you, but unfortunately I can't make the decision. He used to be one of my father's secretaries, and now my father recommended him to work here."

  What's the situation, the U.S. Navy Rear Admiral gave his right-hand secretary to his son? Fang Lang quickly thought of a possibility.

   "Is General Clark also on the disarmament list? He is a major general!"

   "I didn't expect you to be so well informed that you actually knew the news that the United States was going to disarm.

  Father is indeed planning to retire, but he applied on his own initiative. After all, the war has already been won. He wants to go back to spend time with his mother, go fishing, and live a leisurely life. "

   "Then you decide to continue working in the Navy? The war is over, don't you want to live an easy life?"

  “I also want to live a more relaxed life, but my father talked to me and he suggested that I continue to work in the army.

  Actually, I know very well that he doesn’t really want to retire. It’s just that as a minority, he has no room for promotion. If he continues to stay in the army, he should also retire from the combat unit.

  Leaving now can save a decent place for myself. After he retires, I will not be directly dismissed, so that our family can continue to leave a certain influence in the US military.

   So, you get the idea! "

   Hearing John say these words so bluntly, Fang Lang understood why John was transferred to the US Naval Command in Japan to work.

   This is obviously planned in advance. It seems that General Clark is really not a simple character!
