Chapter 80 Ambition

  It turned out that the Allied Command informed the Brazilian Expeditionary Force of the excellent performance of the Brazilian destroyer Haus in **** and the excellent record of sinking four German submarines.

  The Brazilian Expeditionary Force Command is very excited, especially the Brazilian Navy, which has always lacked a sense of presence in the expeditionary force and is somewhat unknown, has achieved such an excellent record all at once.

  The high-ranking naval officials in Brazil were ecstatic and felt that their faces were bright.

  It can be said that from this moment on, the Brazilian Navy is no longer the original existing fleet. Now it has actually fought against the most powerful naval force in the world, and defeated the opponent with a record of 0:4.

  In particular, the Royal Navy of the British Empire specially sent a letter of thanks to the Brazilian Navy, thanking the Brazilian destroyer House for extending a helping hand to the Harry on the battlefield.

  This is the most powerful navy in the world, a letter of thanks to the unknown Brazilian Navy! How can we not make the officers and men of the Brazilian Navy laugh.

   Almost the entire Brazilian Navy reached an instant agreement to frame this letter of thanks and put it on display in the museum.

  The biggest contributor to this matter, Lieutenant Commander Fang Lang, the only naval sinking record in the entire Brazilian Navy, is to be the future star of the Brazilian Navy and focus on training.

   directly skipped the position of lieutenant colonel, which many people could not achieve in their lifetime, and became a powerful colonel of the Brazilian navy. There are even rumors that when Fang Lang returns to China, he will be personally received by the President of Brazil and awarded the country's highest medal of honor.

  Fang Lang, who was a little dizzy from the good news of Colonel Parisi, finally straightened out his thoughts, and reflected the difficult situation he encountered to Colonel Parisi.

   Unexpectedly, Colonel Parisi told him with a wry smile that from now on his immediate superior was no longer Colonel Parisi. Instead, it was under the dual leadership of Rear Admiral Friedrich Crook, Chief of Staff of the Naval General Staff, and Rear Admiral Morais, Commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

  Colonel Parisi will follow the first batch of returning expeditionary force soldiers to return home directly. The specific return time depends on the arrangement of the expeditionary force headquarters. Moreover, they may retire directly after returning to China and return to their hometown to provide for the elderly.

  As for Fang Lang's concern about whether the submarine would be taken back by Britain and the United States, Parisi finally gave Fang Lang a personal suggestion, that is, not to return home with the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

   Instead, they took the initiative to apply to the United States to lead their newly captured German submarines to help the United States continue to shine on the Pacific battlefield.

  The ownership of this submarine will be diluted. Moreover, Colonel Parisi also hinted to Fang Lang that this kind of voluntary help to the Americans could allow the Americans to support two new warships.

  The most important thing is that you can temporarily stay away from the upcoming political storm in Brazil.

   After all, according to what Colonel Parisi said, Fang Lang is no longer the original simple destroyer captain.

   Rather, the youngest colonel officer of the Brazilian Navy and even the world navy, and the most powerful naval fleet commander in Brazil.

  Such figures have begun to have a strong influence in the naval camp. Colonel Parisi directly suggested to Fang Lang not to choose sides easily, as long as he has a strong fleet in his hands and has the support of Americans behind him.

  This political storm will not have any impact on him, and may even give him a lot of help.

   Obviously, Colonel Parisi also thinks that he is a natural pro-American faction, and the current Brazilian army is generally pro-American. He is the only Brazilian officer who is known to have a clear relationship with the United States.

This time, in the political storm caused by the pro-American military officers who have accepted the baptism of American freedom and democratic ideas, even if Fang Lang does nothing, he will automatically get a piece of cake. As for the size of the cake, it depends on Fang Lang himself thought out.

   Colonel Parisi's personal suggestion moved Fang Lang's heart. The reason for Fang Lang's heartbeat had nothing to do with the political interests that Colonel Parisi said.

   Rather, if he really joins the Pacific battlefield, then he will have the opportunity to directly participate in the war against Japan. Even the US-led landing on Japan.

  This is riding a horse on Mount Fuji! The dream of all Chinese men! If you have the opportunity to realize it, how could you refuse it!

  Thinking of this, Fang Lang doesn't care about this new submarine! My heart is completely occupied by the horse stepping on Mount Fuji. As for, the idea of ​​not caring about the war but just making money was thrown out of the blue.

After finishing the correspondence with Colonel Parisi, Fang Lang reported the news of the new submarine to Major General Friedrich Crook, Chief of Staff of the Navy General Staff, and Morai, Commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, in accordance with Colonel Parisi's request. General Si.

However, he received two different replies. General Morais suggested that Fang Lang should not affect his relationship with his allies because of a new submarine, and suggested that Fang Lang directly report the matter to the United States. Look at the United States What is the attitude.

   Rear Admiral Crook of the Navy said that he must hold the warship in his hands, and he asked Fang Lang to send the submarine back to Brazil. According to that meaning, the Ministry of the Navy will directly receive it.

  How could Fang Lang transport this new destroyer directly back to Brazil and hand it over to the Brazilian Navy! Isn't the navy taking all the benefits, and he should take the blame? Don't even think about it.

  So, Fang Lang directly followed General Morais's order, first contacted Brigadier General Jackson, and explained to him how he got the new submarine.

  Ask Brigadier General Jackson's opinion on this submarine, and Brigadier General Jackson said that he personally has no opinion on his ownership, but he is very pleased that Fang Lang can inform him of this matter.

   And suggested that Fang Lang ask Lieutenant General Chambers for his opinion. Fang Lang has nothing to do with this. It would be great if he could get the support of a Lieutenant General of the Ming Army.

   "General Chambers, I am Fang Lang, Captain of the Brazilian Navy House, and I would like to ask for your opinion on something."

   "Oh! Fang, I heard about your performance in the Atlantic Ocean. It was quite amazing! What do you want to ask for my opinion! Please be straightforward."

  General Chambers' tone was quite relaxed. He was obviously very satisfied with Fang Lang's performance, and he could be regarded as a discerning eye.

   "General, thank you for your compliment!"

  Fang Lang will not be modest at this time and say things like praise, after all, foreigners don't like modesty. Immediately after Fang Lang rescued himself from the Harry.

   In order to express his gratitude, the Harry invited Fang Lang to join the surrendered German Navy submarine force. As a result, he captured a new German submarine.

  I want to ask the U.S. Navy for its opinion on this new submarine, whether I can incorporate this submarine into the battle order of the Brazilian Navy.

   After being silent for a while, Lieutenant General Chambers smiled and said:

   "Fang, you didn't simply rescue the Harry, did you?"

   Fang Lang didn't know how to answer Lieutenant General Chambers' words, but Lieutenant General Chambers continued without waiting for Fang Lang's answer:

   "Don't worry, we have also seized the new submarine you mentioned. Since it was given to you by the British, then you can accept it with peace of mind! As for whether to be included in the Brazilian Navy's battle order, what do you think about it yourself!"

   Unexpectedly, the new submarine that is extremely precious in the eyes of myself and the Brazilian Navy is insignificant in the eyes of the Americans. In fact, this is no wonder.

  The United States has its own complete equipment system. It is impossible for this submarine to directly join the battle sequence of the U.S. Navy just because it is advanced.

  As a capitalist country, if the U.S. military puts the captured submarines into active service, wouldn’t the U.S. arms companies lose an order for a submarine? This is absolutely not allowed.

   Hearing that General Chambers did not directly agree to incorporate the submarine into the Brazilian Navy's battle order, but asked Fang Lang's own thoughts, Fang Lang's heart moved:

   "The Brazilian Navy Department hopes to ship it directly back to Brazil and arrange for personnel to take it over, but I personally still hope to be able to include this submarine under my command."

   Lieutenant General Chambers laughed and said:

   "You guys want to build your own naval fleet! Just relying on your destroyer and submarine is not a complete naval fleet!"

  Fang Lang heard what Chambers said, and he hit the snake with the stick and said:

   "My own two ships are definitely not suitable for building my own squadron. Isn't this supported by General Chambers!"

  General Chambers was obviously amused by Fang Lang's words.

   "What good thing do you think, boy! The Germans have surrendered, do you think the US government will agree to equip you with new warships?"
