The captain of the transport ship Charles Joss, Major Raquel Cross, was a large-shouldered, round-waisted black man, with a bare head and a full beard, and was about forty years old.

In the impression of the original body, this is the first black American officer that Fang Lang knows, and blacks in this era will be discriminated against in the American army, so Fang Lang was surprised that a black man could serve as an American captain, but there are many black people in Brazil, and Fang Lang also knows how to deal with black people.

Seeing that after the herald finished conveying the order, Fang Lang stood up and saluted, and was just about to open his mouth to report when he was interrupted by Major Cross's outstretched right hand, seeing the other party's outstretched right hand, Fang Lang hurriedly stretched out his hand and held it tightly.

"Hello, Second Lieutenant Fang Lang, don't be too restrained on board, welcome aboard the Charles Joss." After speaking, he patted Fang Lang's right arm with his left hand, very enthusiastic.

"Hello Major Cross, I'm the Brazilian Expeditionary Military Lang, and it's an honor to be able to study on your ship."

Cross could see Fang Lang's crampedness from Fang Lang's expression, but no other white soldiers saw his strange appearance, and obviously did not express dissatisfaction because he was black.

Since it was Commodore Jackson who directly arranged for him to test the other party's sailing skills, and it was a young man who looked to be less than twenty years old, Cross thought that this person should be a relation. So in terms of attitude, there is no stand of officers at all.

"Okay, young man, since everyone is going to live on the same boat next, and everyone is a brother, I will first ask the first mate to arrange a bed for you, and then I suggest that you hurry up and make a big purchase today, because there are a lot of empty warehouses on our ship on the return trip, and maybe you can make a windfall when you arrive in the United States." Hearing Major Cross's direct words made Fang Lang's heart beat wildly, isn't this a free transport ship? You need to think carefully about what you can sell from Italy to the United States and make money.

"Captain, won't we be punished for using a warship to transport personal belongings like this?" Fang Lang was still a little worried about whether he would be punished.

"Haha...... Young man, we just bring some of our own personal belongings, and we won't fill the boat, what can be the problem, there is nothing to pull on the ship on the way back! Who cares what you bring? This is a perk for the crew! You'll also bring some personal belongings for the crew on board in the future, won't you? Major Cross said meaningfully.

Fang Lang listened to Major Cross's words, and also came back to his senses, he also allowed the crew to bring a little personal belongings on an ocean-going freighter in modern society, why couldn't he react when he arrived in the army?

"I see, thanks for the reminder, sir!" I can't help but think, what is there in Italy now that can be sold to the United States to make money directly? Think about it, many of Italy's most famous products seem to be luxury goods, chocolates, and sports cars, but at this time, these don't seem to have grown yet!

In this way, Fang Lang was under the leadership of the first mate, after settling down, he soon came to the streets of Naples, Italy, and began to look for goods that could make him rich, because it was still early, so Fang Lang was not in a hurry, while admiring the streets of Italy, he sighed in his heart, these Italians can't fight, but it's really good to make food, and after shopping for so long, it seems that the most shops on the street are restaurants.

This made Fang Lang very helpless, he couldn't bring pasta to the United States to sell it! How could it be possible to make a fortune, not to mention pizza, and there was nothing famous for Italian industrial products in this era. It seems that it is basically impossible to get rich.

In fact, the previous was not the reason why Fang Lang couldn't get rich, he touched his capital of five hundred dollars in his pocket, and sighed helplessly, capital is the fundamental reason that restricts Fang Lang from getting rich! Of course, don't think that 500 dollars is a small amount of money, the dollars in this era are much more valuable than the dollars in modern society, and these money are the military salaries that Fang Lang has saved for a long time.

Fang Lang walked around and walked to an alley behind the naval hospital, Fang Lang found that most of the people gathered here were soldiers, including American soldiers, Italian soldiers, and British soldiers.

Fang Lang, who thought there was something lively to see, couldn't hold back his nature of loving to join in the fun, and came over. I saw a few soldiers placing all kinds of trophies on the ground, including German watches, medals, pistols, water bottles, helmets, rifles, etc., and even a BMW 750 motorcycle. Fang Lang understood, this was a black market where some soldiers were exchanging loot.

Wandering around with interest, because he had been on the battlefield for a short time, although he had also killed a few Germans, but judging from Fang Lang's waking up, there was definitely no loot around, he touched the five hundred dollars in his pocket, and thought about it, since he had no chance to make a fortune, then buy some souvenirs and collect them, and wait for the appreciation in the future!

Fang Lang first wanted to buy a watch, because now he didn't have a watch in his hand, and he went through the entire black market from beginning to end, to be honest, there is no style of watch in this era that is particularly in line with Fang Lang's aesthetics, and he has not found a suitable watch for himself, just when Fang Lang was about to give up and choose a random one, a hoarse voice copied English that was not very fluent and said: "Brother, do you want to change a watch?" ”

Fang Lang looked for prestige, only to see a short man with black hair and brown eyes, wearing an Italian military uniform, looking at him, there was no military rank on the uniform, and there was no logo, so it was impossible to tell whether it was a real Italian soldier or a black market merchant. It wasn't until now that Fang Lang discovered that in fact, most people would take off the obvious army identification on their bodies. There is also a large percentage of people who don't mind being known at all.

Looking at the cobra logo with a pipe on his arm, he didn't pay much attention to it, and replied casually in Italian: "Yes, man, but I didn't see what I liked when you looked, so, I'm sorry." ”

This person was obviously relaxed when he heard that Fang Lang was able to communicate in Italian, obviously English was still a language he had just learned, and it was not easy to use. Also responded in Italian:

"Haha.... Brother, I didn't think you could speak Italian, which is great, and if you're going to change your watch, I think you'll have to look at my collection. As he spoke, he lifted his left arm directly, revealing seven or eight watches full of arms.

Looking at the watch with this man's arms full, he couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but be interested, and walked up to take a look, one of the watches with a stainless steel case particularly attracted Fang Lang's attention.

The man obviously also noticed Fang Lang's gaze, and directly took off the watch with a stainless steel case, handed it to Fang Lang and said, "Brother, this is a high-end watch taken from the hand of a German general, you can take a good look." ”

Fang Lang took the watch in his hand and observed it carefully, and recognized at a glance whether this watch was a Patek Philippe 1580,000 calendar watch, or stainless steel, which is a rare item.

"I'm sorry I don't know much about the brand of the watch, can I know what brand it is? He is indeed beautiful. Fang Lang asked pretending not to know the brand of this watch.

In this era, only newspapers and radio advertisements were available, so the transmission of information was far less developed than in later generations, and Patek Philippe was far from becoming a top luxury brand in later generations, but only circulated among some of the top aristocratic royal families.

"Ugh! I don't know this either, but I believe I did take the watch from the hand of a German general. Fang Lang's question made this old man's idea of raising the price poured cold water.

"Okay then, can I know how much you're going to sell me?" Seeing that this Italian didn't know this brand, Fang Lang was ecstatic, knowing that he might have to pick up a leak today, and said quietly on his face.

"How much? No, I don't want money! Hearing that Fang Lang wanted this watch, the Italian was very happy, but when he heard that he wanted to spend money to buy it, he directly refused.
