After five days of preparation, the Brazilian detachment finally set off on its way to the Pacific theater. The fleet included the Fletcher-class destroyer Hauss, the captured German submarine Hope, and two Brazilian Navy supply ships.

At this time, Fang Lang's mood was completely different from the last time he set off from the United States to escort the enemy, after all, the enemy he was about to face was the Japanese at the end of the crossbow, and there were not many opportunities to beat the water dogs!

The whole fleet set off from the Mediterranean, crossed the Suez Canal, entered the Pacific Ocean through the Red Sea, and went directly to Australia and then turned to Saipan in the Pacific.

Just when Fang Lang was about to take a break on Saipan, he was directly transferred to the front line in Okinawa by an order from the US military command. By the time Fang Lang found the headquarters of the Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet on Okinawa Island, it was already 5 July.

As naval officers and sailors, although the long-distance voyage is really tiring, fortunately, although the road is long. However, there is no need to travel through the Japanese occupation zone alone, so it is not particularly strenuous.

However, the newly recruited Marines were choked up. Although Duarte's first preconceived condition for selecting Marines was the ability to swim.

But being able to swim and being seasick is not necessarily related! Therefore, many Marines are used to spitting and spitting. When everyone saw Okinawa, they were even more excited than when they had defeated the Germans, and they could be regarded as seeing land.

Fang Lang looked at the messy Okinawa harbor full of warships, and soon under the guidance of the harbor responder, Fang Lang, who had anchored the warship, took the lead in leaving the House!

Because he must first find the headquarters of the Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet to report, he can be regarded as officially joining the combat sequence of the US military and getting the logistics supply of the US military.

Fortunately, he had already made contact with the Fifth Carrier Fleet, and a jeep was already waiting on the dock. Fang Lang rode all the way in a jeep, passed through several construction sites, and finally came to a fairly well-preserved building.

Under the guidance of the officer who greeted him, he came to the commandant's office. When Fang Lang walked into the office and saw a sturdy middle-aged man sitting behind a desk, Fang Lang was stunned.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a yellow major general, which made Fang Lang directly understand the identity of the other party. After all, the entire American yellow general can be regarded as a rarity.

"Report to the chief, Captain Fang Lang of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, was ordered to lead the warship to report."

Clark looked up and saw the young man in front of him who was younger than his son, and he couldn't believe that this was the soldier of the expeditionary force who saved his son's life on the battlefield in Italy.

How long has it been since this kid has become a naval colonel, is the Brazilian rank so funny? However, the young man in front of him is his son's savior. Moreover, it can also be seen from his standard military posture that he is an excellent soldier.

Coupled with the fact that everyone is of the same yellow race, meeting in this army full of white people will naturally produce a sense of intimacy. After smiling and waving his hand to signal the officer who led Fang Lang in to go out, General Clark stood up and smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Fang, I've finally seen you. You're welcome, come, sit here! ”

He gestured to the chair in front of his desk.

"Don't be so polite, you are John's savior, and your family's savior. I'm really sorry that Okinawa has just been captured by us. So, the conditions are relatively simple, I hope you don't mind.

On behalf of the U.S. Government, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you who have traveled thousands of miles to help in the war effort. I was going to have John pick you up, but he's still at sea from Guam. ”

Fang Lang saw General Clark's enthusiastic attitude, and his heart that had been floating finally let go. After sitting down, he didn't dare to really relax, and hurriedly said:

"General Clark, you're so polite. We're sorry that we were late, and we rushed all the way to the battle, and we still didn't make it in time to participate in this battle. ”

Clark waved his hand and said absently:

"What does this have to do with you, it's these politicians who are dragging and pulling back and forth, so that they are delaying time. How can you blame you! It's not too late for you to come! There are still plenty of opportunities to play later, so don't worry.

Let's settle down and rest. There should be no new combat missions in the near future. After all, in this battle just now, both we and the Japanese suffered heavy losses, and we need time to lick our wounds and regain our strength. ”

Of course, Fang Lang knows the current situation in the United States and Japan. However, since Fang Lang came all the way here, he didn't come here for a vacation, so if he didn't take advantage of the weakness when the Japanese were injured, would he wait for the Japanese to march after surrendering?

This is inconsistent with Fang Lang's goal, so Fang Lang took the initiative to ask:

"General Clark, I know that the Japanese must have suffered heavy losses this time, and the U.S. Navy has suffered heavy casualties after months of hard fighting, and is in dire need of rest.

And although my team only has two warships, we did not participate in the battle except for the hurry, and we are still a new force. So, I hope you'll give us a chance to kill. ”

Although John had already told his father, Fang Lang really wanted to come and fight the Japanese. However, he originally thought that Fang Lang would be transferred to the Navy Logistics Department through John's relationship, and he would be a greedy person who was afraid of death.

As a result, I didn't expect this guy's enthusiasm for fighting to be so high, and I couldn't help but be even more impressed by the other party's waves.

With a satisfied smile on his face unconsciously, he said:

"Haha..... Fang, there are many opportunities to kill the enemy. If you don't get tired, your warriors are tired! You have come from afar, and I can't even give you time to rest, so I will send you directly to the battlefield!

In this case, I will allocate a camp for you first, and you will rest briefly. Wait two days, we will replenish the supplies and then go to the Japanese communication line to turn him upside down. ”

Fang Lang naturally has no opinion on General Clark's arrangement, as long as he can kill the Japanese, what kind of task Fang Lang will follow. What's more, it's just this kind of task of attacking the supply line of devils, it's not too easy.

"Okay, General, then we will follow your instructions and rest for two days. On the 8th of May, as soon as the supply was completed, we set out to turn the enemy's supply line upside down. ”

Seeing that Fang Lang could listen to his instructions, Clark was also relieved. After all, the other side is an Allied officer, not the US Navy. Moreover, he is also his son's savior, if the other party does not listen to the command by relying on this relationship, Clark will be a little difficult to ride a tiger.

"That's right! John has been talking about you for a long time. The day after tomorrow, he will be in Okinawa, and you should also have a good gathering. We'll have a meal together then. Unfortunately, there are no restaurants in Okinawa today, so you would have to be treated to a big meal. ”

General Clark's words suddenly made Fang Lang feel that the relationship between the two was much closer, and he couldn't help but relax, and said with a smile:

"Yes! John and I haven't seen each other in a long time. At that time, he was also in a hurry, and I don't know if his leg is better! ”

Hearing that Fang Lang was concerned about John's leg injury, General Clark smiled:

"Don't worry! The leg injury has long been healed. I've been clamoring to be transferred to the combat unit like you to show my strength! Unfortunately, his mother gave a death order to divorce me if he went to war.

Therefore, there was no choice but to be wronged and he continued to stay in the logistics post until he retired. Haha......"

Fang Lang could imagine how aggrieved John would be because he couldn't show his abilities in the navy. However, as a good brother, Fang Lang can only look at him sympathetically and take good care of him.

By the way, you can pretend to be forced in front of him, otherwise you seem to be a little sorry for running all the way away! It's fun to think about it.

"Ahh Poor John, let me kill a few more damn Japs for him! ”

Looking at the smile in the corner of Fang Lang's eyes, General Clark also knew what the young man in front of him was thinking, after all, who hasn't been young yet! From here, General Clark can also see that Fang Lang does treat John as a friend.

After the two of them revolved the topic around John, the strangeness between the two quickly disappeared, and there was no previous formula. Although, Fang Lang didn't know if this was intentional on the part of General Clark. However, Fang Lang is also happy to see it.

After General Clark saw Fang Lang relaxing, he also said casually:

"John would be very sad to see your current rank! I heard that the Brazilian Navy has now set up a naval fleet for you, and it seems that you have a great influence in the Brazilian Navy! ”
