When John heard Fang Lang ask about his father's identity, he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Yes, my full name is John · J. Clark, and my father's name was Joseph Clarke. J. Clark. Have you heard of it? ”

"Dude, I'm just a small soldier of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and the biggest person I know in the United States besides Roosevelt is you. Of course Roosevelt didn't know me. Fang Lang had a helpless expression on his face and made a joke.

I don't know what kind of big man his father is, but he thinks he knows it, but it can be heard from his words that he is still very proud of his father.

John laughed and said, "Brother, I should be proud to hear what you mean, right?" I could have been a big man with Roosevelt, haha....." John laughed heartlessly again.

"Hey, hey...... Wake up, you haven't said who your father is! For John's arrogant character, Fang Lang was also very helpless.

"Uh.... All right! Can't you make me happy a little longer? Staying in a good mood can help me recover faster, you know? Looking at Fang Lang's face that began to turn dark, John smiled: "Okay! All right! Satisfy your curiosity, but you must remember not to tell anyone about it? My father was the commander of the 5th Carrier Fleet. How? It's not a big deal. Hey hey ....."

John's words shocked Fang Lang's heart, no wonder he felt that he should know that he was indeed a big man. Looking at John's complexion, Fang Lang couldn't help but wonder, "Are you sure it's biological?" Wait, don't be angry, I mean you're yellow like me, and your father should be yellow too! ”

Hearing Fang Lang's question, John almost didn't raise his fist and smash it, but thinking about it, he understood Fang Lang's question. The United States is indeed a country with serious racial discrimination, and it is indeed difficult for minorities like them to get ahead.

"Alright! Brother, I forgive you. You're right, my father is also yellow, to be precise, we are all Indians, my father is of mixed Cherokee and Sioux race, and my mother is Jewish. So you know that if my father takes care of me, it can have some bad effects, so I don't really want to work under my father. ”

Hearing John's words, Fang Lang understood what John was thinking, and he was afraid that because of his own reasons, his father would be burdened with the hat of cronyism, which would damage his father's prestige.

"Wait! John, I see what you mean, do you think that if you work in the military through nepotism, it will damage your father's reputation? ”

"That's right!" John rightly said that he had refused to serve in the Navy for his father's sake.

Fang Lang slapped his forehead and said, "Brother, are you very bad?" You're twenty-seven years old, you're already a major in the U.S. Army, and you've earned it entirely on your own. Do you think your abilities are terrible? ”

Fang Lang felt that he should educate this brainless Yankee well.

"Don't you know what nepotism is, brother, you are completely incapable, relying on your father's relationship to survive in the army is called nepotism. But you don't need the support of your family at all, you can become an army major by relying on your own efforts, in our Chinese saying, this is called a tiger father without a dog, understand? You should go to your father's command and help your father, you know? This is called a father-son soldier in battle. ”

John listened to Fang Lang's words, slightly lost his mind and fell into deep thought.

Fang Lang didn't bother him, he began to worry about his situation, he didn't want to continue to run to the battlefield to fight hard for the Yankees and Germans, although the salary he gave was very good, but he didn't want him to work for the Yankees.

Soon, John hugged Fang Lang and kept patting Fang Lang on the back and said, "Brother, I understand, you are right, I should go to help my father and stand with him." ”

Hearing that John could figure it out, Fang Lang was also very happy for him. Thinking that if he had such a relationship, he would have already run away to be the prince, and he would have gone to the army alone to fight hard, which is definitely a hole in his brain.

"Brother, how about you come and help me? If you continue to stay in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, you can only go up and be cannon fodder, and I don't want my savior to run to die. ”

Looking at John with a sincere face, Fang Lang knew that this was his sincere words. At the same time, I am also happy in my heart, there is no need for this kind of relationship, Fang Lang is not a dead brain like John, it's just that Fang Lang is not good at opening his own mouth for this kind of thing. But now that John himself spoke, he didn't have to think about it at all.

"Is this appropriate? I am the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and your father transferred you to the Fifth Carrier Fleet. If you transfer me to your Fifth Fleet, then I won't be part of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, right? Fang Lang didn't know if such a transfer was feasible.

"It's as if Brazil's navy is under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Fleet, while my father's troops are fighting little Japan in the Asia-Pacific theater. You are not a US military, and it seems that it is indeed not feasible to transfer you to the Asia-Pacific theater. However, the logistics chief of the Fourth Fleet is Commodore Neo Jackson, an old comrade-in-arms of my father, who used to be a frequent guest at our house, and I know him very well, and it should be fine to ask him to help take care of my savior. Ask him to arrange for you to be transferred to the Brazilian Navy's Logistics Department. ”

Listening to the relationship that John said, Fang Lang wanted to laugh out loud, needless to say, now the United States is Brazil's father, and all logistics are in charge of the US military.

"Of course, brother. As long as I stay away from our officers who don't know how to direct battles at all, it doesn't matter where I go. ”

If you can really transfer to the logistics department, it will not be too easy in the future. It was already the end of 1944, and World War II would officially end on September 2 next year, and I had to find a way to get enough benefits and accumulate enough capital in the last time.

"Then it's settled, I'll finish talking to my father's adjutant first. Let's talk to Brigadier General Jackson again! You can recuperate in peace, don't worry, you will never be allowed to return to the front line to die. ”

In this way, a week later, Fang Lang was lying on the hospital bed and received an order from the expeditionary force headquarters, and in view of Fang Lang's heroic performance on the battlefield, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant. Due to his injuries, he was unable to continue serving in the combat unit, so he was transferred to the Naval Logistics Department.

Although Fang Lang knew that the Brazilian Navy in this era was basically a joke, the joke was good! Jokes don't have to go to war! The joke only needs to deliver some supplies, throw a few mines, is there an easier job than that? What's more, it's still the logistics department of the navy, Fang Lang almost laughed.

After receiving the order, Fang Lang's head didn't hurt anymore, and the person didn't faint, as if this order was a miracle medicine for healing, and directly resurrected him on the spot.

In fact, Fang Lang did have a few sudden faints this week, but it was getting less and less, and Fang Lang also completely received the memories of the original body in these faintings.

He is a fourth-generation immigrant from Brazil, and his grandfather is a squad officer of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and at the last moment of the fall of the Heavenly Kingdom, he took more than 300 of his subordinates and villagers to board a ship bound for the United States. When I was passing through Japan, I heard about the Brazilian government's propaganda in Japan that as long as you are naturalized and immigrant, you can divide the land, which is safer than going to the United States to explore on your own, and after discussion, everyone unanimously decided to go to Brazil.

In this way, a group of remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who had never heard of where Brazil was, came to São Paulo, Brazil, after nearly two months of travel.

Because the prince was an officer of the Heavenly Kingdom, he had some prestige among this group of immigrants, and some of the wealth brought out from the Qing Kingdom also allowed them to soon have their own farms in Brazil, with more than 100 hectares of farms, and they were proper large landlord families.

After three generations of hard work, the Chinese in São Paulo have grown to a village of less than 2,000 people, but compared with the number of Japanese immigrants of more than 100,000, it is insignificant.

With the outbreak of World War II, there were inevitably some conflicts between the Chinese and the Japanese in Brazil, because the Brazilian government had always belonged to the pro-German faction, so the living environment of the Chinese was very poor, but fortunately, as the Americans began to get involved in Brazilian politics, and later pulled Brazil into the camp of the Allied countries, the living environment of the Chinese began to improve, and the Japanese immigrants began to restrain their minions.

It was in this situation that Fang Lang joined the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and there were only three Chinese in the entire Expeditionary Force, and there was not a single Japanese, because the Japanese in Brazil were all overseas and their hearts were in Japan, so no one joined the Brazilian Expeditionary Force at all.

After Fang Lang joined the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, because he practiced some fist and foot kung fu with his grandfather since he was a child, he was really brave in battle, and captured a few Italians on the battlefield and killed a few Germans. So in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, he was also mixed up as a sergeant.

If it hadn't been for John, it would have been difficult to have a chance to rise when he retired. It's not that the Brazilian army is racist, but that both the government and the army in Brazil are quite corrupt, and if you don't give benefits to the superiors above, there is basically no hope of promotion. Of course, others will also have good reasons, such as soldiers becoming officers and going to military academies to study, etc., you absolutely cannot refute them.
