Chapter 41: Good News
And Fang Lang, the object of everyone's conversation, couldn't wait to come to the Navy Hospital at this time, and hugged his girlfriend Miss Lilith tightly.
"Lilith, I'm finally seeing you again! Did you miss me? ”
The little girl had tears in her eyes, hugged Fang Lang's waist tightly with an aggrieved face, and buried her little face with pear blossoms and rain in Fang Lang's arms.
"Fang, I miss you so much, you don't write to me, I want to write a letter, I don't know where to send it!"
"Haha.... Silly girl, I've been at sea, and the postman can't catch up with me, and by the time your letter arrives in Brazil, maybe I'll be back with you. ”
Fang Lang could clearly feel Lilith's heart from Lilith's strong arm, and whispered comforting in the little girl's ear with a smile.
"But I want to!"
Feeling that the little girl in his arms was coquettish, Fang Lang would not refuse.
"Uh-huh. I understand, and I miss you too. Am I not back now? Do you want to take time off work in the afternoon and go out shopping with me? ”
For Fang Lang's return, Lilith's inner joy was overflowing, and when she heard that Fang Lang was going to take her shopping, the head buried in Fang Lang's chest moved happily.
"Uh-huh! Then let's pick up my sister together! ”
Fang Lang didn't expect Lilith to remember to bring Weiwei'an at this time, it's not that Fang Lang doesn't like Weiwei'an, it's not that he doesn't want to be with Weiwei'an, but Fang Lang was with Lilith first after all, so he still wants to give himself and Lilith some more separate space.
"Are you sure you want to pick up your sister?"
Hearing Fang Lang's slightly hesitant question, Lilith looked puzzled and said:
"Of course, this is our agreement, and I can't leave her alone to date you. Don't you like Weiweian? ”
As a man, how could there be such a good thing as not liking sisters, but empathy Fang Lang would also worry about whether Lilith really didn't mind at all.
"Of course not, but Lilith, don't you really mind at all?"
"No! My sister and I have a good relationship! We'll all share what we'll all share! ”
Looking at Lilith's heartless expression, the scumbag wanted to refuse and said the most scummy words.
"But in this case! Am I going to be too bad? ”
"We did it voluntarily! You can't be blamed for that! ”
Hearing Lilith's answer, Fang Lang didn't know how to describe his mood, both happy and guilty.
The two laughed all the way to school and picked up their sister Vivian! The three of them laughed all the way, and after eating dinner together, they sent the two home.
When Fang Lang returned to the naval base, Lieutenant Colonel Graham had been waiting outside Fang Lang's barracks for a long time, and Fang Lang saw Lieutenant Colonel Graham waiting outside the door at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Good evening, Lieutenant Colonel Graham! Are you waiting for me here? ”
"Oh! Oh my God, Fang, you're finally back, I've been waiting for you for almost an hour! ”
Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, apparently having waited for a long time, stood up and stomped his feet, rubbing his fingers.
"Ugh! I'm really sorry sir, but I just returned to Italy today, and I have a lot of things to deal with, so I came back late, so please tell me if you have any orders. ”
Fang Lang wouldn't tell him that he was going shopping with his girlfriend in the afternoon, if Graham knew how long he was waiting, Fang Lang was enjoying the blessings of Qi people, and it would be strange if he wasn't angry.
"Haha.... There is nothing I have told you but I have good news for you! ”
When Graham saw Fang Lang's attitude, he couldn't express any dissatisfaction, so he had to smile.
"Haha.... I see, Sir Graham, you are a man of your word, and you do what you say. Thank you very much for your support. ”
Hearing Graham say that he had good news to tell him, Fang Lang thought that this person had come to ask for credit for Fang Lang's promotion to lieutenant to captain! I can't help but think in my heart, don't you look at the buddy's collar badge is already the rank of captain! You only came here at this time to ask for credit, will it be too late?
"Ahh No, Fang, you misunderstood, your promotion to captain is just a trivial matter, this time I came here to tell you another good news! ”
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Lieutenant Colonel Graham waved his hand again and again, In the Brazilian army, as long as you have money and can bribe the commander, the lieutenant-level officer will have it at your fingertips, and there is no gold content, so Lieutenant Colonel Graham said indifferently.
"Ahh Is there any other good news? ”
Seeing Graham's style, it was obvious that he didn't treat helping Fang Lang to be promoted from lieutenant to captain as something worth showing off, which made Fang Lang look forward to what kind of good news Graham could bring to him.
"That's right, I believe you have received an order to report to the headquarters of the expeditionary force tomorrow!"
Looking at Fang Lang's expectant expression, Graham began to sell Guanzi.
"Yes, today Colonel Parisi has ordered me to report to the headquarters of the expeditionary force tomorrow morning! Is there any other good news in this? ”
This kind of news has no secret meaning at all, so Fang Lang also takes it for granted that Lieutenant Colonel Graham can know.
"Hey, hey.... Of course, you kid has quietly done a big thing in Brazil this time! ”
Lieutenant Colonel Graham looked at the young man in front of him with envy on his face. After all, this was the first time Brazil had dismantled an Axis spy organization in World War II. Therefore, the credit and influence are very huge, otherwise such a trivial matter, where the President knows, also needs a special call from the Ministry of Defense for commendation.
Of course, this may also be the reason why Brazil has been in the Central Powers for too short, and there is no threat of war on its own soil, at most, the German submarines are cruising in the waters frequented by the Brazilian Navy, creating a lot of trouble for the Brazilian Navy! So, in fact, World War II did not have much impact on Brazil.
Of course, it has no impact at all, for example, the formation of the expeditionary force will definitely affect many families, and the sharp increase in the demand for materials from the allies has pushed many resource enterprises in Brazil to an unprecedented height.
The Brazilian government has made a lot of money, only Brazil's largest state-owned iron ore company, Vale, was formally established in 1942, and later became the world's largest iron ore processing and export enterprise, because of the continuous sales of high-grade iron ore to the United States during this period.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Fang Lang, Fang Lang only cares about what benefits he can do now.
"Hey! It's a big deal, it's just luck! The credit is automatically delivered to the door! Does your good news have anything to do with this? ”
Seeing Fang Lang's expression, Graham knew that Fang Lang did not have a clear understanding of the benefits here.
"Of course, the Ministry of Defense sent a special telegram of commendation, do you think it is good news!"
I heard that it was a commendation from the Ministry of National Defense, of course Fang Lang knew that it was very rare, but what is the point of a commendation without something practical!
"Is it just a commendation! That doesn't help! ”
Looking at Fang Lang's slightly disgusted expression, Lieutenant Colonel Graham couldn't help but start to envy Fang Lang's stupid foolishness.
"Of course, it won't be as simple as just a commendation, I came to you in advance this time to tell you a good news, tomorrow you will officially step into the ranks of colonel-level officers."
Lieutenant Colonel Graham's words finally confirmed what Fang Lang heard from Colonel Parisi's words. However, this credit is not his own, after all, when the two Japanese spies were discovered at that time, Fang Lang brought de la Torre with him, and the prize money was shared between two people.
"What, there is such a good thing, what about my first mate?"
Graham obviously has some knowledge about the affairs of de la Torre, but after all, he is not his own person, so he sighs at the good luck of the other party for the benefit of the first mate.
"Of course, he is also promoted to the same rank as you! He's so lucky, he's been in the rank of lieutenant for four years, and he didn't expect to be promoted in less than four months with you. ”
Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Graham's words, Fang Lang also said with a smile on his face:
"Haha.... It's all luck, luck. Hey hey...."
