Chapter Ninety-Seven: Reminiscence
General Clark's adjutant obviously saw that Fang Lang's relationship with General Clark was not ordinary. Therefore, the affairs of the Brazilian expeditionary force were arranged very carefully.
Although the barracks are just temporary barracks with simple tents, the same is true of the entire U.S. military camp now. Fang Lang couldn't find any fault either.
Fang Lang understands the soldiers' eagerness to rest, especially the soldiers of the Marine Corps. Therefore, the soldiers of the Marine Corps moved in as soon as the camp was confirmed.
Since Fang Lang's Marine Corps is a completely newly formed unit, it has not yet received complete run-in training. Now that he has come to the base camp of the United States Marine Corps, Fang Lang will not let go of this opportunity to learn.
He explained the situation directly to General Clark's adjutant, and offered to arrange for America's most elite Marines to help train a true Marine.
There was no need to report this little request to General Clark, the marines on the island had been resting for a few days, and they were in a panic, and their energy was nowhere to vent their energy.
Now that a group of rookies have come to abuse them, it's simply not too appropriate. As a result, I only wanted to borrow a team of more than 10 instructors, but as a result, more than 100 American GIs enthusiastically signed up.
What else is there to say about this, of course Fang Lang raised his hands in approval! As for the consumption of training, there is no need to worry about Fang Lang at all, Mr. Adjutant just told the logistics department that Fang Lang and John are very familiar.
The door of the logistics warehouse is completely open to the Marines, anyway, it is the supplies of the US government, and it is not the American GIs themselves, who will feel distressed?
Besides, this is not a waste, just report it directly and transfer it to the Allied forces for training. With such a large-scale war attrition, who cares about this small attrition!
Fang Lang directly ordered Duarte to seize this rare opportunity to learn real combat skills from American soldiers. And use the supplies of the US military to complete the training of their own soldiers.
He could only give him forty days of training, and after forty days, Fang Lang would see the well-trained marines. He even directly said that he was able to accept the loss of five percent.
It is equivalent to directly telling Duarte that he has given twenty-five death places. This made Duarte's eyes change, obviously he didn't expect Fang Lang's requirements to be so strict.
Fang Lang even directly told the major officers of the US Marine Corps who came to organize the training that as long as the training did not die, they would practice to the death. A forty-day training allowance was promised to each instructor at $100 per person, and $500 for majors.
If you can reach the average combat strength of the U.S. Marine Corps, you will receive an additional twenty percent bonus, and if you exceed the level of the U.S. Marine Corps, you will receive an additional twenty percent.
The news drove the instructors of the US Marine Corps crazy. The Brazilian Marines ushered in their Hell Month, which made all the Brazilian Expeditionary Force Marines pale when they talked about the experience of this month.
Of course, Fang Lang would not deliberately torture these fighters, he specially hired a five-person medical team with a high salary to ensure the health of the fighters.
It is promised that if the fighters meet the training requirements, each of them will receive a private reward of 100 US dollars, which will increase by 50% if the level of the American instructor exceeds the level of the instructor, and if the team's performance does not meet the requirements, all rewards will be cancelled.
This made the soldiers who had just been transferred to work under Fang Lang and had just received Fang Lang's personal allowance for the first time, their eyes lit up, and all the personnel said that they were bound to get this bonus.
After arranging the affairs of the Marine Corps, Fang Lang finally waited for John on the afternoon of July 7. I don't know if General Clark deliberately avoided this wave, and even broke his promise and didn't show up with John.
When Fang Lang saw the visiting John at the gate of the camp, the two of them had a lot of time, and after hammering each other, they hugged each other tightly.
"Fang, why do you kid seem to have lost weight! Isn't it that the Italian girls are too enthusiastic! You also have to pay attention to moderation. ”
"Hey! You know that Lilith is indeed a gentle and good girl, and do you know how determined I am to leave her over to see how determined you are? ”
"You bastard, will you die if you don't show off Lilith in front of me?"
"Haha..... Don't be sad, brother, I'll tell Lilith to introduce you to some hot Italian girls. However, you haven't seen you for a while, there is a trend of horizontal growth! Are you sure you can handle the girls? ”
"Do you want to be Bibi!"
"Forget it, as a good brother, I'm afraid you'll have low self-esteem. Haha....."
After laughing, Fang Lang and John walked into Fang Lang's tent together.
As soon as he sat down, John changed his apologies to Fang Lang.
"Fang, my father asked me to apologize to you, he is really busy with military affairs and can't leave. So ....."
Fang Lang waved his hand indifferently and interrupted John's words.
"What do you say! John, we are good brothers, and your father is my elder. How can there be a reason for the elders to come to visit the juniors, don't worry! I wouldn't mind, your father wasn't there and we were better off chatting, wouldn't we? ”
In fact, from the time Fang Lang left General Clark's office, Fang Lang already knew that there was no chance to follow General Clark to learn the experience of commanding the US aircraft carrier fleet.
Therefore, he had already set his mental goal of learning to England or France. As an adult, he wasn't going to be surprised by Admiral Clark's reluctance to teach him aircraft carrier command experience.
After all, the US military is not his own family, and many things are involuntary, which is determined by his own position.
However, Fang Lang believed that General Clark had rejected Fang Lang's first request, so the next time Fang Lang made another request that was not so difficult, General Clark would definitely consider it carefully.
Even if Fang Lang can't get the benefits of the American army from General Clark, he will definitely get the benefits in business. For example, if there is no such relationship, Fang Lang can't handle the production line of penicillin, right?
"Fang, you're so right. I also don't like to meet with my father, it's too embarrassing. How can we be as comfortable as we are now? ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to clink fists with Fang Lang.
Fang Lang also smiled and punched him.
"Young people have a common topic! Why did I hear your father say that you also want to join the fighting army? ”
Hearing Fang Lang's words, John's originally smiling face immediately began to become depressed.
"Hey! Don't mention it, I'm almost suffocated. Anyway, I also came out of the combat unit, but now I run to the navy to take care of logistics and don't even have a chance to meet the enemy.
How can you live so chicly, you see when we met, I was a major, you were a sergeant. Now I'm a lieutenant colonel, and you're already a colonel.
I've heard about your brilliant achievements, and it's exciting to think about. Aren't men supposed to be like you! ”
"Haha..... Dude, I heard your father say that if you go to the fighting army, your mother will divorce your father! For the sake of your family's integrity, forget it! ”
"Alas! I'm so pathetic, and you still laugh at me. Still not a good brother! ”
"Actually, according to me! It's cool to be a logistics officer! Especially the logistics officers of the U.S. military, how many suppliers have to give you benefits. But you kid doesn't seem to be lacking in these, this doesn't seem to be of much use to you. ”
"Don't mention it, how can I not be lacking? I'm going to consume it too! I want to pick up girls too! However, under my father's nose, I did not dare to take advantage at all, for fear of causing a bad influence on my father. I knew I shouldn't have listened to you come to work under my father. ”
"In this way, you kid seems to be really a little pitiful!"
"Hey! Don't talk about me, I heard from the brothers below today that the Marines under your kid seem to be a bit miserable! ”
"Where is it miserable, I am also trying to improve their combat effectiveness. You have also participated in the training expeditionary force, and the combat effectiveness of the Brazilian army is really hard to describe.
Otherwise, you Americans would not have insisted on training for two years before they dared to put us on the battlefield. Now that they're under my command, of course I'm going to have to be stricter!
The Japanese are stones in a pit, smelly and hard. If I don't train them into an iron fist, I won't dare to let them go to battle! ”
"Yes! We have all been in the European theater, and neither the Germans nor the Italians have been as desperate as the Japanese.
By the way, speaking of which, I want to remind you! In the Asian theater and the European theater are not the same, these dwarfs will not surrender easily, and even often fake surrender, I think you must be careful. ”
In this way, Fang Lang and John can be regarded as having a long talk, as Fang Lang's first friend after he woke up, the two of them have a lifelong friendship no matter what they say.
Therefore, Fang Lang also regarded John as a true friend. Dinner is a wine for the two of them, and they are all drunk.
