Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 20 Buying People's Hearts

  The next day just after dawn, Fang Lang received an order from the Brazilian Navy Department: Take all the crew at nine o'clock in the morning and go to the pier for a ship awarding ceremony.

  Fang Lang didn't dare to neglect. After finishing his team, he lined up neatly and came to the pier to line up. On the pier, comrades in the navy are already making arrangements for the scene, the ship is still covered with ribbons, and the name of the ship "Gillas" is also sprayed on the head of the bed.

  Fang Lang doesn't understand the naming rules of the Brazilian Navy, but he can see that the name of the ship is named after a person, and he will be the captain of the Gilas in the future. The mood turned out to be a little bit excited, after all, this is the first time that a person has become an official captain in two lifetimes. Although the tonnage of the ship is not as large as a fraction of the container freighter he worked in the previous life, he is still an official captain, isn't he?

  Fang Lang's team lined up neatly beside the boat, waiting for the start of the enlistment ceremony. Everyone was looking at the battle position in front of them with their own eyes, and everyone had a special feeling in their hearts.

Soon it was nine o'clock in the morning, and several naval officers, led by Colonel Atilio Parisi, came to the ship at the pier. Everyone did not expect that a simple transport ship was commissioned by Colonel Parisi. He actually came in person.

  A lieutenant colonel of the navy walked up to Fang Lang and others step by step, and ordered loudly: "Fang Lang get out!"

Fang Lang also came out in accordance with the training etiquette of the U.S. military instructors in his memory. When he came to the lieutenant colonel, he only heard the lieutenant colonel say: "According to the order No. 101 of the Brazilian Navy Expeditionary Force Command, here is the second lieutenant Fang Lang of the Navy. He is courageous and skillful in sailing, successfully passed the assessment, and was appointed as the captain of the Brazilian Navy Expeditionary Force Fleet Gilas. He was promoted to lieutenant of the Navy. Order of the Brazilian Navy Expeditionary Force Fleet Command."

   Fang Lang couldn't help being taken aback, what's the situation, he just changed from a sergeant to a second lieutenant, and he didn't make any contribution! How did he become a lieutenant. I am only twenty years old! Could it be that such a young lieutenant is not very good. Is the rank of the Brazilian army so easy to promote? There was no time to think about it, and he quickly stood at attention and saluted to receive the order.

  Looking at Colonel Atilio Parisi not far away, I saw Mr. Colonel smiling at the corner of his mouth, frowned, and nodded slightly, obviously telling Fang Lang that it was his credit. Fang Lang's heart suddenly dawned, and he couldn't help but deeply agree with the noble character of these Brazilian military officers who do things with money.

Seeing Mr. Lieutenant Colonel changing the epaulettes for himself from the original one flower to two, he suddenly realized that he probably told the colonel to compensate the one flower he had trampled on. I thought it was to buy a flower. I couldn't help but express my admiration for Mr. Colonel's brain, and feel ashamed.

  Soon Mr. Colonel began to give lectures again. Fortunately, during the war, everything was kept simple, and the ceremony ended within less than half an hour. If it was normal, it is estimated that Fang Lang's calf would not end without cramps.

  After the ceremony, the freighter Gilas was officially owned by Fang Lang. After arranging the crew to board the ship in order, he gathered all the crew on the deck and began his first lecture on the ship.

After waiting for the soldiers to line up and salute each other, Fang Lang slowly said: "Brothers, from now on, we will live on this ship, and we will truly become brothers on the same boat. Today I just say One thing, that is, from now on, on my ship, junior soldiers are not allowed to bribe and give gifts to their superiors. Once discovered, both parties will be sent to military courts. There is absolutely no sympathy to talk about. Of course, I also I understand the difficulties of everyone's life, so from now on, I will give you a certain allowance every month according to your performance and work achievements. This allowance is in addition to the military salary, and the amount of the allowance will vary according to your position and military rank. The same but different, the minimum is 20 dollars per month, and the maximum is 100 dollars per month. Of course, this is only when your performance meets my requirements, and I will give you an allowance. Please don’t use me as a stipend After all, other troops do not have this kind of allowance. At that time, the superior will directly hand over my income, and everyone will have no allowance. And I only ask you for three points, the first is obedience, Number two is obedience, and number three is **** obedience, get it?"

   When the soldiers heard that there was such a good thing, they couldn't be too happy, and shouted in unison: "Understood!"

   This time, Fang Lang didn't need to repeat the sound, it had already shaken Fang Lang's eardrums.

  After Fang Lang announced his disbandment, the soldiers were all talking.

   "Brother, do you think what the captain said is true!"

   "Are you saying that you are not allowed to give gifts? It's really hard to say. Now in our Brazilian army, is there any place where you don't need to give gifts? Mr. Captain himself doesn't accept gifts, so it's inevitable that other officers will not accept them!"

   "Anyway, the captain has already said that it is not allowed to send it away, so I won't give it away. Is my military salary worth spending by myself? If the officers have any objections, ask him to go to the captain."

   "That is, if I see an officer accepting gifts, I will report to the captain to see if the captain will actually send them to a court-martial."

   "I feel that the captain is serious. Let's observe it first. If we can really avoid sending it, then we will have a better life in the future."

"Don't worry! I heard that the captain is backed by Americans. Mr. Captain got this ship directly from the Americans! General Morais asked the Americans many times but failed to let go. In the end, the Americans depended on the captain. It was only because of the face of Mr. that he agreed to allocate this transport ship to us."

   "Wow! Brother, you are so well-informed, are you serious?"

   "Cut, who do you look down on! I tell you that my news is absolutely reliable, but I can't tell you the source of the news."

"That would be great. With the backing of the Americans, the captain will definitely be able to do what he says. At least on our ship, he must have the final say. Then we will have a good life in the future and perform well. There is also a stipend! Then we are treated the same as American soldiers."

   "That's right! Other officers are looking for their subordinates to take money. Mr. Captain not only doesn't ask us to take money, but also gives us allowances. I have never heard of such a good officer."

   "Don't spread the word about such a good thing! When the time comes, brothers from other ships will try their best to squeeze us on board, and it will be troublesome to squeeze our own position."

  "If I can't promote it, I won't promote it. But such a good officer, I will follow him. I will go wherever he tells me to go, and I will absolutely obey."

   "Didn't the officer say that! What is required of us is to obey, obey, and obey again. I am afraid that the future will be difficult."

   "It's hard, you can pass it! Just apply for transfer. If you dare to disobey Mr. Captain's order, I will deal with you first without Mr. Captain's hands!"

   "That's right, we will firmly support Mr. Captain's leadership from now on. If anyone dares to do bad things, I will shoot him black."

  Everyone talked a lot, and generally speaking, they were all good things. However, Fang Lang doesn't mind everyone's comments. Even if they refuse to accept, they must follow their own requirements, because this is not other places, this is the army, and obeying orders is a bounden duty.

  Even if someone dares to obey his orders, Fang Lang has a lot of means to deal with him. In fact, this means that the Brazilian army does not have a political commissar, and the Brazilians have not studied the history of Fang Lang's motherland. If any modern person knows that Fang Lang personally pays for soldiers' allowances, he can report to the higher authorities and let Fang Lang get shot directly.

This kind of behavior is to buy the morale of the army. At that time, whether the soldiers under the ground will listen to the country or Fang Lang. I think Yuan Datou used this trick when he was training at Tianjin Station. Everyone only knows that Yuan Datou is not Knowing that the Manchu court knew, Yuan Datou finally took the top spot.

   That is to say, Brazil's history is too short, there is no historical background, and everyone doesn't quite understand the twists and turns. But Fang Lang, the instigator, knew it all in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it!

Fang Lang is leading the management personnel on board to familiarize himself with the various places of the ship according to the ship manual. Since many places are in Italian, no one understands what it means. Fang Lang can only apply for a translation from his superiors and put the ship on board. The position of each function switch of the switch is marked in Portuguese to avoid damage to the ship due to wrong operation.

  The next main job for everyone is to be familiar with the various equipment and functional areas on the ship, and eat and live on the ship every day.
