At the port of Naples, Italy, Mr. Kornes was leading the staff of the global trading company to count and check the goods shipped from Brazil to Italy, most of which were cigarettes, and the rest were mostly sugar, pepper, wine and other items.

"Moskovna, this voyage is going well!"

"Of course, Mr. Coens, the whole time was under the protection of the naval fleet, although there were several German attacks, but they were all in danger."

Moscow is full of question marks, isn't the itinerary all reported to the company? What else is Mr. Coens asking of himself now?

"Then you don't have anyone to embarrass in Brazil this time!"

Squeezing the list in his hand, Mr. Coens felt a little concerned about his feelings.

"Of course not, the whole process was personally arranged by the boss, we either stopped at the naval base, or we have the protection of the navy, how could someone come to us without opening their eyes to trouble!"

Mostona gave Mr. Coens a strange look, not knowing what was going on with Mr. Coens today.

"Does the boss have a huge network in Brazil?"

Cohens was a little embarrassed by Moskovna's eyes, and his face was slightly reddened.

"I don't know exactly what this is, because I spend most of my time near the terminal, and you may need to ask the person in charge of the Brazilian branch to find out."

Captain Moskna, who was a little puzzled by Mr. Coens, who was squirming in front of him, began to think about Mr. Coens's intentions as he answered Mr. Kerns's question.

"Then you've been to the boss's hometown, haven't you? You brought back so many crew members from Brazil on board this time. ”

After a detour of unnutritious words, Cohens finally decided to pull the question on his own topic.

"Of course, the owner's home is near the port of Sanchez."

Mr. Captain has been a little confused by Cohens, and can only answer whatever he asks.

"I don't know, have you ever heard them talk about the situation in the boss's house!"

Finally, Coens asked the question he wanted to know the most!

"What are you referring to? Some of them I had been on the boat to hear from the boss's fellow villagers. ”

Mr. Captain, looking at the expression on Mr. Coens's face, had some rough guesses about his purpose, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Hmmm! It's mostly about whether the boss has a girlfriend in Brazil or something, you know what I mean? ”

Cohens obviously lost some patience with the very unpopular Mr. Captain in front of him, and decided not to hide it, and went straight to the point!

"Haha.... I see, Mr. Earns is looking for Miss Lilith! Hey...... Rest assured! I really asked about this, and everyone said........"

Moskovna saw that Mr. Cohens finally said his true intentions, and his heart was relieved, you are not Chinese, what can you say directly! Around such a big bend.

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing that the gentleman on the boat stopped halfway through his speech, Coens blurted out with an eager face.

"Hey...... Rest assured! Mr. Coense, the owner doesn't have a girlfriend in Brazil! Hey hey ....."

Mr. Captain laughed. And Kornes was blushed by his deliberate joke and his tone.

"Uh-huh....... I know! Let's hurry up and overhaul the ship, and since the cargo is almost unloaded, I'll go first! ”

After saying that, he ran away as if he were leaving.

At this time, Vice Admiral Amuro Chambers, commander of the US Fourth Fleet, was chatting with Commodore Jackson of the Navy Logistics Department inside the US Navy base.

"Jackson, these Brazilians have a growing appetite, and they are not threatened with war in Brazil, this time they even want us to provide them with the most advanced naval destroyer, and they don't know what they want to use it for, do they want to go to South America to claim hegemony!"

Lieutenant General Chambers was a tall white man, meticulous in his military uniform, with sharp eyes, and a wound of three or four centimeters on the left side of his face. At this time, there was a slight dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, the navies of the Brazilians are all old models from the First World War, and they have not had a new naval ship launched for nearly twenty years, and now it is normal to have thoughts in their hearts when they see the new warships of our two sides and the new mode of warfare!"

Brigadier General Jackson calmly voiced his opinion

"So what do you mean! Do we meet their requirements? ”

Hearing Jackson's words, Lieutenant General Chambers was visibly more dissatisfied.

"It depends on how His Excellency the General wants to use the Brazilian Navy, if you just need them to lay mines and clear mines, of course you don't need to pay attention to their ideas, but if Your Excellency the General needs them to help us carry out other combat missions, it naturally doesn't matter if you provide some military equipment."

"What you say makes sense, but the combat capability of the Brazilian Navy is basically a child's play, and there is no actual combat experience at all! What can I expect them to do! ”

The look of disdain on Lieutenant General Chambers's face was palpable.

"This subordinate doesn't have any good ideas, and I guess the Brazilian Navy doesn't want to directly send their navy, which has no combat experience, to the front line to carry out any dangerous combat missions, and it is more likely to be used to learn new methods of warfare and new ship concepts."

"That's my guess, so I'm skeptical about providing them with ships, but Eisenhower was very pleased with the performance of the Brazilian Army, and Admiral King hoped that the Brazilian Navy would be able to play a better role for us."

Vice Admiral Chambers had a deep eye on the ideas of the upper echelons of the Navy.

"Do you mean that the upper echelons are interested in providing warships to Brazil?"

"The upper echelons definitely want to expand our influence in the Brazilian military, after all, America is the America of the Americans, and it can't just be a slogan."

"I see, you mean! So it seems that it will be imperative to provide warships for the Brazilian Navy, I wonder if there are suitable people to support it now? ”

"That's where we hesitate, Colonel Parisi of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force is actually a very good candidate, but unfortunately he is a confidant of President Vargas, and President Vargas is a very good politician, he will not really stand with us, just like when he stood with the Germans, when the Germans encountered a decline, they immediately switched to our arms. This kind of wall-riding faction cannot become a true pro-American faction. ”

Talking about the specific candidates to support is a headache for Lieutenant General Chambers, after all, the United States began to meddle in Brazilian politics, and it was only in the forties that it began to be somewhat effective.

"Oh! If I need a close friend with the United States, I would have a candidate, but unfortunately he is only a small lieutenant, and he only has experience as the captain of a transport ship, and he may not be qualified to be the spokesperson of the United States in the Brazilian Navy. ”

Brigadier General Jackson, who had been calm, finally began to smile at this time.

"Oh! Let's talk about it, it doesn't matter whether he is in rank or ability, as long as he can keep up with us, we can make up for what he lacks. ”

"This man is a Chinese-Brazilian, a minority in Brazil, and he was the captain of the last transport ship we allocated to the Brazilian Navy, and I chose him because he has a deep relationship with our American Navy, he is the savior of Admiral Clark's son, John, and a close friend, and even Admiral Clark once called and asked me to thank him for easing the relationship between father and son. And this little guy is also very clever, through his hands, he has already sold us three captured transport ships, and, some time ago, sent a telegram to me, asking for the purchase of ten more transport ships, but we have contributed a lot of money to the Admiralty. ”

"Hearing what you said, I became interested in him. You talk to him first, and if he really belongs to our pro-American faction, then you can bring him over, and I will talk to him specifically. ”

"Of course, no problem, their boat has returned to the dock today, and I'm sure he'll contact me soon. I'll have a good chat with him then, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. ”
