Since Lieutenant Colonel Graham said that there was plenty of time and allowed everyone to take turns to rest, Fang Lang certainly had no objections, and turned his head to hear Colonel Tiqi say: "Sao Paulo is less than 500 kilometers away from Rio, but if you drive, it's too much of a waste of time, so be it!" I'll ask the adjutant to book you a plane ticket for this afternoon, and I'll say hello to Captain Abubakary Blackwell of the garrison in São Paulo, and ask them to arrange for you to pick you up at the airport by jeep so that you can travel at home. ”

Colonel Tiqi was obviously a local snake, and the surrounding garrisons were all related, and without waiting for Fang Lang to answer, he directly opened his mouth and gave an order to the adjutant outside the office.

After Colonel Tiqi finished giving the order, Fang Lang hurriedly got up and thanked: "Mr. Colonel, thank you so much!" In this way, it will be much more convenient for me at home, and the two chiefs can rest assured that I will definitely go early and return early, and I will definitely not delay the trip. ”

Thinking in my heart, I have no foundation in the country, this Colonel Tiqi is a local snake in Rio, and it seems that I still need Colonel Tichy's help for my development in Brazil in the future, and I will send some American souvenirs over later to make friends.

"Well, you remember to return on time, wait a minute to note the phone number of Mr. Colonel, if you encounter any difficulties or need help in São Paulo, call as soon as possible, everyone is your own people, there should be nothing we can't handle in Brazil." Colonel Graham opened his mouth again to play the ticket.

"That's right, I'll leave my phone number for you later, contact me as soon as you have something, I heard that there are a lot of Japanese Americans over there, although they are still more obedient now, but I heard that they have set up an underworld organization, and there are some small actions in private, the police may not be able to suppress them, if you encounter something that can't be solved, call me, I will contact the garrison directly to help you get rid of them." Colonel Tichy also spoke at the right time.

Fang Lang didn't expect that Colonel Titch, who met for the first time, would be so easy to talk to, which made him a little uncomfortable, it seemed that Lieutenant Colonel Graham had something to say to him, otherwise he was a little lieutenant, worthy of a colonel to turn over like this. Don't think that a colonel is just a middle-level officer, Brazil is not as large as the motherland, and the number of soldiers is also larger, and at this time, Brazil has a land area of 8.51 million square kilometers with a population of only 45 million, which is truly vast and sparsely populated.

The number of Brazilian troops is even more conceivable under such a population base, and the combined number of the Brazilian naval, land and air forces at this time is less than 100,000 people, including some national guards and armed police forces that are only responsible for domestic and local security. In fact, the regular army was less than 80,000 men, and the Brazilian Expeditionary Force was 25,000 selected from those 80,000. This is why the commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, General Morais, also has the rank of major general. Of course, by the 21st century, Brazil's population had increased to 210 million, and the number of troops had increased to about 280,000.

Among their so-called own people, Graham's status should be higher than that of Titch, because Fang Lang has not yet integrated into their so-called own team, so he doesn't know the specific situation, so he can only listen to what the chief says.

Fang Lang will never join any Brazilian party, because, according to the memory of Fang Lang's later generations, Brazil was affected by the hostile relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War, and the domestic political situation was very turbulent. Later, the military imposed a 21-year military dictatorship on Brazil.

In fact, when Fang Lang just woke up in this era, he thought about taking his family and escaping from this chaotic country. But Fang Lang remembered that there were only tens of thousands of Brazilian Chinese in later generations, while there were more than 1.5 million people of Japanese descent. And in the memory of the original body, the Chinese were oppressed by the Japanese in Brazil, and the old-fashioned character of the father, who would never be willing to leave the family farm.

He felt that this might be the mission given to him by the times, and that he had to take advantage of the fire and expand the number and living environment of the Chinese in Brazil in a chaotic environment. Brazil is a country of immigrants, there is not much racial discrimination, and there is no Chinese exclusion law, but it is the fifth largest country in terms of area and the seventh largest economy in the world in the 21st century.

Of course, these are all thoughts in Fang Lang's heart, and he will definitely not say it to anyone, and there is no reason for Fang Lang to refuse the olive branch extended by Colonel Titch. Hurriedly got up and saluted the two of them with a grateful face: "Thank you for your selfless help, my subordinates will definitely repay the two chiefs well." ”

The two were also very happy to see Fang Lang's statement, and they didn't say anything more. After Fang Lang said goodbye and left, he returned to his transport ship Gilas.

At this time, the cargo on board the Gillas had been transported on priority. Fang Lang ordered the first mate de la Torre to gather the crew.

Soon the crew lined up neatly in overtime, and Fang Lang took out the roster and said, "Brothers, thank you for your outstanding performance on this voyage, which allowed us to successfully complete this mission. The good news here is that we have just received an order from the Admiralty that we will send reinforcements back to the European front in ten days, so we will arrange for you to take two shifts of leave, each of which will be four days' vacation. ”

Hearing Fang Lang's good news, the soldiers below cheered one after another, and only after everyone's mood slowly calmed down did Fang Lang continue to speak: "Then next, I want to fulfill my promise, what I am holding in my hand is a statistical table of everyone's performance on the ship during this period of time, you should all know it, because I have collected the evaluation of each of you on the performance of others." There are three sources of evaluation scores for each of you, firstly, the most important one is definitely my score, secondly, the score of your superiors on your performance, and finally, the score of your comrades-in-arms around you. The higher the score, the more allowances, so I'm going to start giving out our first allowance, and I'm going to ask those who read their names to come forward one by one to receive their allowances. ”

Next, Fang Lang began to announce everyone's position standards and scores one by one according to the list. For example, the first mate de la Torre has a basic post allowance of 100 US dollars, because of his outstanding work performance, everyone generally rates him higher, so his score is as high as 120 points, so his allowance is 120 US dollars.

Soon each of the crew members received their own allowance, and everyone was smiling and comparing each other's allowances, and of course there were also crew members with poor performance who received very little allowances, and they were a little indignant. Fang Lang saw it in his eyes and said quietly: "I know that some people get more allowances and some have less, so I want to explain here." First of all, we have seen that the basic post allowance of officers is relatively high, so I hope that all of you will study more when you are working, perform seriously in your work, and strive to promote your position, General Napoleon once said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Then I hope that everyone can become generals in the future, and of course, if any of you become generals, don't forget to give me an allowance! ”

The soldiers laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Secondly, there are very few brothers among you who do not perform well at work, so there are many brothers who give low marks to brothers who do not perform well, so I hope that the brothers who have received low scores will not think about who gave you low scores, but look for the reason in themselves, whether they have done something bad, whether it is an attitude reason or a technical reason, and after finding the reason, quickly turn it around, and do not wait until they are eliminated by everyone. The other brothers, for this backward brother, do not give up, do not scold, but reach out at the right time to help him improve. It is only when each of us is strong that our collective will become strong and invincible. ”

The brothers below erupted in warm applause that lasted for a long time.

Fang Lang pressed his hand and said: "Finally, I want to ask you one thing, brothers on vacation, to help me find a crew by your side, I need a crew who dares to go to the ocean transport, everyone has seen the transport ship that went back to Brazil with us, it is the boss of this company, who entrusted me when he left Italy." He promised me a ten-dollar referral fee for helping to find a qualified crew member, a basic crew salary of fifty dollars per month, and an additional allowance for missions in wartime hazardous areas. As you know, $50 a month is a lot of money in Brazil, so I'd like to introduce you if you have friends. And I still don't like the ten dollars of introduction fee, so whoever introduced the ten dollars will give it to him. That's what I'm going to say today, and I'll leave it to the first mate. ”

Looking at the brightening expressions of the soldiers below, Fang Lang waved his hand and gave up his position to the first mate de la Torre, and asked him to arrange the maintenance of the ship, sanitation and cleaning, and vacation scheduling.
