Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 3

  Chapter 3 report

   "Reporting officer, Fang Lang, second lieutenant of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, come to report!" Fang Lang stood outside the door of Brigadier General Neo Jackson of the US Fourth Fleet and called. This is what John told Fang Lang when he left Italy first, and Brigadier General Jackson hoped to chat with Fang Lang before he arrived at his post.

   "Come in!" A majestic voice came from inside the door.

Fang Lang adjusted his military appearance again, stretched out his hand and opened the door, and saw a tall, blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man in his fifties sitting behind a large desk inside the door, looking up at him .

  Fang Lang walked to the desk in a standard military posture and saluted: "Your Excellency, Second Lieutenant Fang Lang is reporting to you!"

At this moment, Fang Lang was still very nervous. It was the first time in his two lives that he saw such a big officer. Although John said that General Jackson was easy to get along with, it was because he had a good father, and he was only from a small third-rate country. The identity of a soldier is not much different from that of a colonial servant. If you don't perform well, you might just send yourself to the corner.

   "I heard from John that you saved his life, right?" Brigadier General Jackson didn't let Fang Lang sit down, and asked directly.

   "Report to the general, yes." Fang Lang was worried that he would make too many mistakes, so he could only ask and answer.

   "Have you always been familiar with him?" Hearing Brigadier General Jackson's question, Fang Lang understood that he suspected that he had other intentions to save John.

   "Report to the general. I didn't know him before saving him. When I woke up in the same ward with him, I realized that it was him who saved him. I gradually got to know him."

   Brigadier General Jackson, who had been staring at Fang Lang's expression, felt relieved of his doubts after hearing Fang Lang's answer.

"I heard from your officer that you were very brave on the front line. Why did you want to be transferred to the Naval Logistics Department?" Brigadier General Jackson once again raised the question in his heart, obviously suspecting that Fang Lang asked John because he was greedy for life and afraid of death. Transfer him to the logistics department.

"Report to the general, mainly because of this injury, I always faint suddenly. John was worried that my body would be dangerous in the combat troops, so he recommended me to your command." Fang Lang couldn't say that John was In order to repay the life-saving grace, everyone on the battlefield is you save me and I save you. If because of a life-saving grace, the benefactor has to be transferred to the logistics department, this may make General Jackson feel that John is not mature enough, of course Fang Lang felt that John was immature, but the more immature, the better for Fang Lang.

   "Then do you still have this kind of sudden fainting now?" Jackson obviously didn't want to have someone under his command who would faint at any time.

   "Report to the general, I don't know about this problem. I haven't fainted for three days. I personally feel that my physical condition is fine now, and I can work at any time." Fang Lang didn't want to be sent back to the hospital to continue lying down.

   "Okay! If you feel unwell, do you have to report it in time?" Jackson was also worried that if Fang Lang had any physical problems with him, John would make trouble for him.

"Understood the general!" Fang Lang couldn't tell Jackson that his health is so good now that he can kill a cow, and he doesn't know if it's the sequelae of time travel. What appeared to be a thin body is now beginning to show more and more obvious muscles. The spirit is even better. Fang Lang feels that he can persist without sleeping for at least three or four days.

   "Then tell me what you know, and I'll arrange a job for you." Brigadier General Jackson still decided to accept the entry of this relationship.

"Reporting to the general, I can speak English, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish and Italian, and I can also do some basic oral communication. If I have skills related to the navy, I can be competent for the shipping work of large transport ships." Fang Langhui So many languages, of course, are the wealth of knowledge brought to him by the people of the two lifetimes. And the shipping work of large transport ships is the old line of work in the previous life. Of course, the current ships are definitely not as advanced as their ocean-going container ships, but it is also an essential skill for their crews to cross the ocean without relying on automated driving of ships. And more than 20 years of ocean-going sailing skills are comparable to the excellent captains of this era.

  Fang Lang's answer obviously surprised Brigadier General Jackson: "Aren't you the son of a Brazilian farmer? How come you know so many languages ​​and navigation."

  Obviously, Brigadier General Jackson had investigated Fang Lang's background. Unexpectedly, his answer was quite different from what Brigadier General Jackson had learned, but Fang Lang couldn't say it was his previous skill! After thinking about it for a long time, I could only reply weakly: "Uh! Report to the general, I learned all of these by myself. My dream before joining the army was to own a ship of my own. I want to sail to my hometown Huaxia to have a look. .”

"Okay! Looks like I have another job for you. Go to the transport ship Charles Joss at the pier and report to Major Raquel Cross! Their transport ship will be returning to the United States soon , I will ask Major Cross to conduct an assessment on you. If you can successfully pass the assessment, then I will allocate one of the transport ships we seized to you for the Brazilian Expeditionary Navy to let you serve as the captain, to satisfy your captain. Dream. How?" Brigadier General Jackson was delighted when he heard that Fang Lang was confident that he could handle the shipping work of ocean-going transport ships.

Because General Mascareus Di Morais, the commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, has approached Commodore Jackson many times, hoping to arrange a transport ship for the Brazilian Navy, so that the Brazilian Expeditionary Force can independently open the expeditionary force and Brazil. Airline, to transport the wounded and dead soldiers back to the Brazilian mainland.

  There are quite a few transport ships captured now, but none of the trusted captains are willing to work for the Brazilians alone, and the captured ships are not prepared to be sold to merchants at a low price. If Fang Lang is really qualified to be the captain of an ocean-going transport ship as he said, wouldn't it be that if he wants to fall asleep, someone will give him a pillow.

   "Yes! Your Excellency, General! Thank you for your cultivation, and my subordinates will never let you down." Fang Lang was ecstatic when he heard that he could directly assign a warship to the Brazilian Navy after passing the test and let him serve as the captain. Although the transport fleet is often attacked by the German Navy submarine force at this time, it is actually escorted by the naval fleet every time it sails.

   Moreover, with Fang Lang's military rank and aptitude, he should not be arranged for a large transport ship, and small transport ships will not become the main target of the German army.

   Soon Fang Lang followed the orderly under the arrangement of Brigadier General Jackson, holding his own transfer order. Arrived at Navy Pier in Naples.

  In fact, this place is not far from the Naval Hospital, but the warships are moored near the Naval Hospital, and Fang Lang's current location is a berth belonging to transport ships.

The transport ship Charles Joss in front of me is obviously a free ship that has been in service for no more than two years, and the free ship is actually a ship type that Fang Lang is very familiar with, because it is so famous, since 1941 Construction, as of 1945 when Germany was defeated and surrendered, more than 2,700 ships had been built in 18 shipyards in the United States.

I don't know if this ship is an improved Victory Wheel. Fang Lang still hopes to board the Victory Wheel, because the initial Liberty Wheel was only powered by an old steam engine, and the speed was only about eleven knots. The speed of the submarine has reached 17 knots, so if it is discovered by a German submarine, it will not be able to escape. The Victory Wheel has improved power on the basis of the Free Wheel, and its speed can reach 18 knots. At least it will not be overtaken by German submarines, and its life is more secure.

  Of course, the Liberty Ship is also armed. Each Liberty Ship has six anti-aircraft guns and one anti-submarine gun.

   Passing through the crowd who were using hoisting equipment to transport materials, Fang Lang followed the messenger through the gangway and boarded the free ship that was about to return to the United States to transport strategic materials.
