When leaving, Brigadier General Jackson was not with Fang Lang, but was left behind by Lieutenant General Chambers.

"Jackson, this person you recommended is very good, I am very satisfied, I will recommend him to General Marshall!"

Brigadier General Jackson was also very satisfied, and the candidate he recommended was favored by Lieutenant General Chambers, and said modestly:

"It's all in the service of His Excellency General's plans!"

Chambers was very pleased with Brigadier Jackson's performance, and rarely began to ask for his opinion.

"What kind of destroyers do you think we should give Brazil?"

At this time, the most advanced destroyer in the United States must be the Keeling class, and it is certainly impossible to provide this kind of destroyer that does not have many destroyers in the United States Navy, after all, Brazil is not so important.

At present, the main warships of the US Navy are the Allen Sumner-class destroyers, with a number of more than 70 units, which are the enlarged models of the Fletcher-class destroyers and the best destroyers in World War II, and it was not until 1975 that they began to be gradually retired in the US Navy. Many of them were resold to third world countries after being decommissioned, and it was not until the nineties that they completely withdrew from the stage of history.

Of course, the largest number is the Fletcher-class destroyers, with more than 170 ships, and they are the absolute main force in the South Pacific theater of war with small Japan. It was only in the seventies that it began to be gradually retired.

"If it were to be offered to Brazil, my suggestion would be that the Fletcher class would be sufficient, after all, this is also our most numerous destroyer. If it is clearly not in the interests of the United States to offer more advanced, if it is too backward, it will hurt the feelings of Brazilians. ”

Commodore Jackson is an American general, and it is unlikely that he would be willing to provide Brazil with the most advanced warships of the United States, even if it is a British ally.

"Since we are on the same page, I will send a telegram to the country asking for a Fletcher class to be sent to the Brazilians. Now that the Brazilians have new destroyers, they must join us in escorting operations on the Atlantic route. Hopefully, our young captain friend will show us what he is capable of. Otherwise, we won't be able to find a better reason to continue to support him in the later stage. ”

Lieutenant General Chambers took a deep breath of his cigar and said.

At this time, Fang Lang, who had returned to the Djilas, was calling his crew one by one to his side, having a one-man conversation, asking if he would like to serve on the destroyer. After all, the destroyer was going to the front, and he had to choose the crews who were willing to fight with him.

Although he was only on the ship of the Djilas for two months, many of the crew members became loyal fans, both in terms of their ability to work and the allowances paid to the crew.

After an in-depth conversation, twenty crew members of the Gilas were willing to follow Fang Lang to serve on the destroyer, including First Officer de la Torre and Chief Engineer Amar Reyna.

Obviously, twenty crew members is a drop in the bucket for a destroyer that needs more than three hundred and fifty people. In the next few days, Fang Lang was busy interviewing with various personnel every day, including the fifteen people who De La Torre provided his list, and the personnel provided by Colonel Parisi.

There are people brought by Lieutenant Colonel Graham. It's a pity that Lieutenant Colonel Graham doesn't know that now he is an out-and-out bastard in Fang Lang's mind, and Fang Lang will not let his subordinates get in anymore.

In the end, Fang Lang even stuffed the two hair petty that he brought back from São Paulo into his team through Colonel Parisi.

And just when Fang Lang was forming a destroyer team for himself, in the cigarette factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Yang Zong and others finally made several unique flavors of cigarettes according to the ideas provided by Fang Lang.

"Let's try these cigarettes, I think it's the best to smoke!"

In front of Yang Zong, there were five flavors of cigarettes, all of which were made of different flavors according to the new production process and adding different spices.

Several factory technicians, after trying it, were very surprised and did not expect that the cigarettes would change in this way.

"I can't imagine that this kind of cigarette can smoke a sweet taste, it's amazing!"

"I don't like that sweet one, I like this, it's mellow enough and has a long aftertaste."

"But I love this fragrance! It has a floral smell that smells so good! ”

"This rose smells so good! I'll only smoke this kind of stuff in the future! ”

"Don't you like this mint-flavored one! I'm sure he's going to be a big seller! ”

Everyone is talking about the different feelings of several different flavors of cigarettes. It was almost all praised, which made Yang Zong very excited, and directly announced the success of the cigarette trial, and began to readjust the production line and formulate a new production process.

According to the guidance left by Fang Lang, the brand of Good Luck Cigarettes was created. New packaging was made for each flavor of cigarettes and production was organized.

The acquired newspaper has also begun to reformat according to Fang Lang's guidelines, and changed its name to "Brazil Times" to be distributed throughout Brazil. In the early stage, it will be distributed to the government, major schools, hospitals, banks and other places in the form of free gifts.

According to Fang Lang's guidance, the Brazilian Times often attracts customers with sensational headlines, and the actual content is no longer boring, which is very different from today's newspapers. Therefore, it will soon gain a firm foothold in Brazil, and as soon as the new printing press purchased by Fang Lang from the United States arrives, it can quickly occupy the position of public opinion in Brazil.

Although the Brazilian Times used headlines to attract customers, they never had any political leanings, and the news events were often told in the same form as stories, which surprised the Propaganda Department, which had just abolished censorship of books and newspapers, and began to focus on the development of the Brazilian Times.

Fang Lang, who was far away in Italy, finally built his team after about a week of repeated screening. Some special positions, such as radar, sonar and other military branches with relatively high professional skills requirements, will be organized to go to the United States with Fang Lang to receive a one-month professional skills training.

A group of 20 people traveled to the east coast of the United States on a US military transport plane, and Fang Lang and the new deputy captain de la Torre were sent to the West Point Military Academy in New York for a one-month pre-job training.

Other crew members were also sent to different locations to participate in training for corresponding positions, and in the United States, the main ones who participated in the training were some new technology units such as radar, sonar, fire control, and marine engineering. Others studied in Italy following the destroyers of the US Navy.

After arriving in New York, he was sent by a special car from the US Department of the Navy to the temporary training course at West Point. Fortunately, Fang Lang had already informed Wan Chongxin before departure, and rented a small apartment for the two of them near West Point.

Because of the long journey, which lasted more than 30 hours, and when they arrived in the United States, the time was midnight, so after the two of them packed their luggage, they fell asleep directly.

Early the next morning, when Fang Lang was still sleeping soundly, Wan Chongxin had already knocked on Fang Lang's door.

"Good morning, boss! I brought you a special breakfast in Chinatown, I don't know if you've ever eaten it! After Wan Chongxin entered the house, he casually put the oiled paper bag he brought over on the table, and took out the contents in the same way.

"I said Ashin! Is it so early every day? Fang Lang glanced at the sun that had just risen outside the window, and said with some surprise.

"That's definitely not, it's just that I haven't seen my boss for so long, and there are a lot of things that need to be reported to you. I'm afraid you're going to class soon, so I'll have to come and disturb you before your class. ”

After speaking, he pushed a breakfast in front of Fang Lang and said.

"This is preserved egg lean porridge and fritters, do you want to try it?"

"Alright! It's been a long time since I've eaten any of this, and we're talking as we eat! Fang Lang looked at the breakfast in front of him, and he was not polite, and after seeing it, he heard a sound and came out of another room and said:

"Lao De, this is my friend Ashin. Here's the breakfast he brought, come over and try it together. ”

After the two nodded to each other, De La Torre sat directly beside Fang Lang, looked at the porridge that was pushed in front of Fang Lang, and ate it unceremoniously.

His mouth also made a slurp from time to time, and he was obviously very satisfied with this breakfast.
