Fang Lang, who returned to the ship, quickly put these things behind him, and learned about his business in the United States and Italy through the telegram on the ship, and after getting in touch with Fang Lang in the United States, Wan Chongxin said that the factory equipment that Fang Lang asked to find had been found, and the ship could be arranged to depart at any time, but considering the safety of shipping, it was still recommended to wait for the boss's transport fleet to transport it by itself.

Fang Lang also arranged for Wan Chongxin to look for penicillin production equipment in the United States, understand the process flow, and ask if he could establish a penicillin production plant in Brazil, even if it was only a small-scale factory.

Mr. Coense from Italy said that he had received the details of the goods sent by the Brazilian branch and had begun to look for a buyer in Italy. At the same time, two cigarette distributors have also been found in France, and they can start negotiations with each other after Fang Lang returns to Italy.

Fang Lang directly asked Kerns to negotiate with the French dealer himself, and he only needed to go back to confirm the contract and give his father-in-law full trust.

In the end, Fang Lang sent a telegram to Commodore Jackson, saying that he would continue to buy ten transport ships, and asked Commodore Jackson if he had any stock in hand.

For the business sent to the door, Brigadier General Jackson of course will not refuse, and directly said that it is still the original price, the original routine, and can be delivered at any time. Fang Lang informed Mr. Cohens to go to the Admiralty to sign the contract for the purchase of the ship.

Soon, after assembling his three transport ships, the long-awaited escort fleet finally arrived, and Fang Lang once again took his fleet to Natal, escorted by the Brazilian Navy, and then joined the other ships and headed for Italy by the same route.

Every time you cross the Atlantic, it is a test of life and death, and those who can break through the layers of blockades to reach their destination are real heroes, but unfortunately this time there is no Brazilian welcome ceremony in Italy, but a major of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, with a few trucks, picked up the reinforcements on board.

Fang Lang went to Colonel Attilio Parisi to report on his own.

"Report to the chief, Navy Lieutenant Fang Lang has reported to you that the transport ship Gillas has successfully completed its transportation mission, please instruct!" Fang Lang stood in front of Colonel Parisi in a standard military posture and said.

"Lieutenant Fang, come in, don't be polite, sit down and say, sit down and say."

Sure enough, after the baptism of local products, it is different, this time Colonel Parisi and Fang Lang saw Colonel Parisi for the first time, it is simply like two people.

"Yes, sir!"

"Fang, I heard that this time, you not only successfully completed the transportation task, but also accomplished a big thing! There is a telegram of commendation sent from China! The command of the expeditionary force sent commendations. It seems that you will be ready to pick the stars soon! ”

Looking at Colonel Parisi with a smile on his face, Fang Lang was stunned, I did a big thing, I know, it should be a matter of Japanese spies, but what does it mean to pick stars! hinted that he was going to be promoted, but he was only a lieutenant now! Even if you want to be promoted, you will be a captain! The captain is at most one more flower! How can you pick up the stars!

"Report sir, my subordinates are lucky, they happened to meet two Japanese spies, and I really can't afford your praise!"

"Luck is also a type of ability! You don't have to be too modest, just in time you're back, I have two more good news for you. First of all, in view of your outstanding performance in this transport mission, Lieutenant Colonel Graham, I ask General Moraes for merit to confer on you the rank of captain with the approval of the Expeditionary Force Command. This rank was supposed to be awarded to you half a month ago. But because you are on a mission in the Atlantic, it is now up to me to grant you. Congratulations, Captain Fang Lang. ”

Seeing that his face was gradually becoming serious, Colonel Parisi, Fang Lang hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you, sir!" ”

What is a surprise, this is a surprise, Lieutenant Colonel Graham really did what he said. At the beginning, he said that as long as Fang Lang solved the problem of the transport ship for him, he would apply for a promotion reward from his superiors, and after Colonel Parisi, who was by mistake last time, added a flower to Fang Lang, Fang Lang thought that he would not be promoted. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Italy, he received such a big surprise, he had just been transferred from the army infantry to the navy for less than five months, and he was promoted to a third rank in a row and became a captain. It's like a Heifer visiting her family – you're going home.

Looking at Fang Lang with a surprised face, Colonel Parisi smiled and changed his collar badge and said, "Young man, it's too early to be happy, there is a big surprise waiting for you tomorrow!" Tomorrow morning, take your first mate, and you will report to the headquarters of the expeditionary force together! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Colonel Parisi's words, Fang Lang had already begun to mutter in his heart, wouldn't it! No way! It's not over yet, it's the rhythm of taking off! But if you really pick a star, won't you be able to be the captain of the Djilas? I don't know what position I will be assigned to next.

What Fang Lang didn't know was that Lieutenant Colonel Graham was also reporting Fang Lang's situation to General Moraes at this time:

"General, as far as I know, Fang Lang has a close relationship with Commodore Jackson of the U.S. Navy, and is known as an uncle and nephew. There is even a close relationship with an American company called Global Trade Co., Ltd. ”

"Oh! I can't imagine that our Brazilian Expeditionary Force has a guy with such a deep background in the United States, but it turns out that he didn't show such a deep background when he was in the army! ”

Major General Moraes, as the commander-in-chief of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, although he only has the rank of major general, is also the marshal of the Brazilian army, and his power is very large, so it can be said that it is very easy to know the information of his subordinates, but according to what he knows from the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, Fang Lang did not receive special care from the United States before he was injured!

"This is also where the subordinates are confused, but the appearance of Fang Lang also solves the problem of the transport ship for us. I've always felt that the reason why Commodore Jackson agreed to assign us a transport ship was because Fang Lang happened to be the captain. Otherwise, we had asked so many times, but we didn't agree to it once, but as soon as Fang Lang appeared, the US Navy immediately agreed to allocate us a transport ship, and asked Fang Lang, who had passed their assessment, to be the captain. Doesn't this make it clear that this transport ship is prepared for Fang Lang? ”

Not to mention, according to Lieutenant Colonel Graham's analysis, there is indeed nothing wrong, if Fang Lang is on the side, he has to agree that Graham's analysis is very reasonable.

"Then what do you think, if we promote him to the rank of major this time, what position should we arrange for him!"

Moraes lowered his head and picked up his pipe and lit it, and through the flickering smoke, a pair of sharp eyes became a little unpredictable.

"I don't know if the general agrees with me to test Fang Lang's attitude, I mean, since the Americans are willing to provide us with a transport ship in order to be able to arrange a position of transport captain on our side, if we give him a higher position, will the Americans ......"

Obviously, Lieutenant Colonel Graham is definitely General Moraes's confidant, and he has a very accurate grasp of General Moraes's thoughts, because with Lieutenant Colonel Graham's speech, a slight smile flashed in General Moraes's slightly incomprehensible eyes, although this smile was fleeting, but it still did not escape Lieutenant Colonel Graham's eyes.

"I don't know if Fang Lang has the ability to be the captain of a destroyer!"

Moraes's tone was leisurely, flickering far and near, and he didn't know whether he was worried or talking to himself alone, but the volume of his voice was just right for Lieutenant Colonel Graham's ears.

But Lieutenant Colonel Graham, as if he had heard nothing, continued to speak:

"I heard that Fang Lang's Djilas has docked, I don't know what you think of the new captain of the Djilas? Will we continue to lease ships from Global Trade this time, if we rely on the Gillas alone, we may not be able to quickly transport our backlog of loot back to Brazil! ”

"Didn't you stuff one of your men on the Djilas when it was formed? Is he sure he will be able to steer the transport ship now? ”

The person the two were talking about was apparently Norobertrou Fendis, the second officer of the current Djilas, the guy from the logistics department who had been converted into the second officer of the transport ship.

"Your Excellency the General is really like a torch, this person is indeed my person. Don't worry, even if he doesn't have the confidence to steer this transport ship, I'm sure with the current first mate here, there will be no problem. ”

Obviously, Lieutenant Colonel Graham had a plan in mind for the future of the Gilas.

"Then it's up to you to talk to Fang Lang! As for the new captain, we must fully solicit his opinion, can't you be brutal? ”
