Chapter 44: stand in line

  Chapter 44 Standing in line

  Fang Lang knew that Brigadier General Jackson must have expected it long ago, but he also happened to take this opportunity to show his attitude to Jackson, abruptly turning the exchange of interests between countries into a personal friendship between the two. After all, Fang Lang is very aware of the influence of the Americans in Brazil in the future, especially the influence of the Brazilian army.

"I don't care about it. You handed it over to me at the time, and I handed it over to the expeditionary navy. In my heart, this is what you handed over to me. Unfortunately, I have no ability now, so I can only watch my own The boat was taken by this bastard."

  Brigadier General Jackson is an old man, so he naturally understands what Fang Lang means, and he can also hear Fang Lang's dissatisfaction with the Brazilian Navy. He smiled and said:

   "Then how is the Brazilian Navy planning to accommodate you?"

  Fang Lang saw the smile on Brigadier General Jackson's face, and thought that Jackson already knew that the expeditionary force was going to let him do the job of destroyer captain.

   "Surely you already know that, right?"

   Seeing Fang Lang looking at him with determination, Commodore Jackson instantly understood what the Brazilian Navy meant. These **** are really horrible.

   "How could I know about your Brazilian Navy, but since you said that, I probably understand what you mean! Is it because the Expeditionary Force recently asked us to support a destroyer?"

  Since Commodore Jackson said that he did not expect that the new position given to him by the Brazilian Navy was the captain of this destroyer, Fang Lang also told the news he had heard.

"Yeah! They said they wanted me to be the captain of a new destroyer, but now there is no sign of a warship. Are you kidding me? I think I have a good relationship with you, and I want you to come forward to facilitate the delivery of the warship as soon as possible." .”

  Brigadier General Jackson heard Fang Lang say that the expeditionary navy wanted Fang Lang to come to him to facilitate the delivery of the American destroyer, and smiled and said:

   "Oh! So what do you think?"

   Fang Lang made no secret of his dissatisfaction in front of Brigadier General Jackson, and expressed strong indignation at the expeditionary navy's use of himself.

"Do you think I'm stupid! Don't tell me if I have such a big face with you. Even if you gave me face and contributed to this matter, they will transfer me away again and replace me directly with theirs as the captain. , Am I that stupid! I can see through these bastards!"

  The practice of the Expeditionary Army Navy killing the donkey obviously made Fang Lang very dissatisfied, and even felt that he might become the transportation captain of the Expeditionary Army in the future, but he would not get any actual benefits.

  Brigadier General Jackson didn't expect Fang Lang to be able to see through the thoughts of the expeditionary navy so quickly at a young age, and Fang Lang couldn't help but treat Fang Lang differently:

   "Unexpectedly, you boy, you are not old, but your mind is not bad!"

Seeing that Brigadier General Jackson agreed with his judgment, Fang Lang felt happy, but I have something to say, even if I ask you to help facilitate the delivery of the destroyer, let alone my own idea, this is the expeditionary navy Those people want to use you, not me. But he opened his mouth and said:

   "Seeing what you said, it's your nephew anyway. Isn't it embarrassing for you if you have a bad mind!"

  How could the little Jiujiu in Fang Lang's heart be hidden from Brigadier General Jackson, but this is also the main purpose of Jackson's coming to Fang Lang today, so he stopped making detours and directly asked the question:

"Since you treat me as an uncle, I will not hide some things from you. It is a small problem to provide you with a destroyer, but you have to understand that once you become the captain of this destroyer, it means that in the Brazilian army Here, you will be labeled as a pro-American faction, which is not necessarily a good thing for you!"

  Pro-American faction, Fang Lang understood what Jackson meant as soon as the word appeared. I am an ironclad pro-China faction, but unfortunately you Americans are the strongest now, and when the expeditionary force returned to China, they were all pro-American factions. Get a higher position soon, and you will be able to get a better position when you return to Brazil in the future.

   At that time, it would not be better to have a pro-American cloak to cover up one's pro-China identity, so he said carelessly:

   "Haha. Uncle Jackson, look at what you said. I am a pro-American faction! Do I need to label it again? Even if I say that I am not a pro-American faction, will anyone in the Brazilian army believe it?"

It is true that Brazil has not completely turned to the United States at this time, because President Vargas is very aware of the United States' ambitions for the Americas. Unfortunately, Vargas will not last long. With the achievements of the United States in World War II, it will make The United States has a strong influence over most countries in the world after the war.

  The United States will never allow Brazil, a major American country, to become a sharp knife inserted by the Soviet Union in the Americas. So when the Americans discovered that Brazilian President Vargas was not completely on their side, they began to plan ahead. Supporting the pro-American faction in the military is the most effective means for the United States.

When these soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Army came into contact with the so-called ideas of democracy and freedom in Europe, and returned to China, they would definitely be dissatisfied with the actions of some domestic politicians, which directly led to the subsequent coups in the Brazilian army. .

  So Brigadier General Jackson really regarded Fang Lang as his nephew, and revealed some high-level situations in Brazil to Fang Lang:

"You guys have to understand that the current Brazilian President Vargas doesn't like the pro-American faction very much. Although he is now cooperating with us in the United States, he has just established the Labor Party in Brazil! The interests of this party are not the same as those of the United States. values ​​are inconsistent."

  It's a pity that Fang Lang, as a traveler, knows very well that the Americans will win in the end. Of course he will not take detours, but directly said:

   "So what! I'm just a small officer. If he doesn't like me, am I pro-American? Wouldn't I be crushed to death like an ant?"

  Fang Lang's answer made Jackson happy. He was happy that he had completed the task of Lieutenant General Chambers, and that Fang Lang had made a correct choice. So he said to Fang Lang with a smile on his face:

   "Okay! Since you have chosen to make yourself a firm pro-American faction, come to my office tomorrow afternoon and I will take you to meet someone."

   Hearing that Brigadier General Jackson was going to take him to meet someone, Fang Lang was taken aback for a moment. Can't you, a Brigadier General, finish communicating these things? But think about it, maybe he will introduce himself to a higher-level leader of the US Navy. Of course, Fang Lang will not refuse a good opportunity to expand his network. Pretending to be surprised:

"Who are you? Uncle, you don't really want to help me with the destroyer! But I don't want to be the captain of the destroyer! I still have a lot of business to do! If I go to fight, my business How to do?"

   Seeing that Fang Lang was still thinking about his own business at this time, he couldn't help feeling anxious. Climb to a higher position. In a place like the Brazilian army, isn't it easy to get rich with the support of the Americans? But think about it, his business can also bring benefits to him, and he has to open his mouth to solve his worries.

"You boy, with me here, are you still worried that your transport fleet will be left unattended? Don't worry! I know your father-in-law Kerns, and I have already told him that no matter where your ships are going in the future , I will arrange an **** fleet for you all the way! You can rest assured that you can develop in the army."

In fact, Fang Lang is really unwilling to drive a naval warship and fight the Germans. If he is fighting a small Japan, it is absolutely fine. He has to fire two shots on a transport ship, but it is really nothing to fight the Germans. interest.

   "But I don't know how to fight in the navy! I don't know if there are any other ships that don't need naval warfare that I can use. It would be good to transport soldiers like amphibious landing ships, or transport nurses by medical ships!"

  Fang Lang's words overwhelmed Brigadier Jackson. I don't know if he is afraid of death or for some reason, let's say he is afraid of death! He fought bravely in the army and saved John's life under enemy fire. Say he is not afraid of death! When he arrived in the navy, he didn't want to drive a warship to fight.

  But Commodore Jackson managed to find a pro-American naval officer. If he wanted to support him, he would not let him go to a non-combat position, so he directly refused:

"No, you can learn it! Are you born to be able to drive a ship? Now that you have mastered the skills of driving a ship, I believe it will be easy for you to learn to drive a destroyer. As for the amphibious landing ship you mentioned, now The landing has already been completed. Where are you going? Do you want to take care of the elderly? Don’t even think about the hospital ship. Even if we give it to you, you Brazilian expeditionary force may not want it. Okay, don’t talk to me anymore, it’s getting late Now, you go back! I'm going to sleep. See you tomorrow!"

  Looking at Brigadier General Jackson who directly issued the order to evict passengers, Fang Lang was helpless. It seemed that he could not escape the fate of the destroyer. I couldn't help thinking in my heart, destroyers are destroyers, but this time they must all be their own people, and they must all be their own people in the future. Don't want to let yourself be the captain of the transportation team for you Brazilian bureaucrats.
