The fire in Tokyo burned for two days and three nights before it was completely extinguished, and as for the specific damage, Fang Lang didn't worry about it, and it wasn't his turn to worry about it.

The supply ship laden with cargo had safely left the port on the night of October 13, taking half of the Marines with them, while the remaining soldiers had already returned to Osaka by land in trucks.

Fang Lang stayed in Tokyo with his adjutant and guard platoon, of course, this was not detained or anything.

Instead, the Ministry of the Navy of the Brazilian government has officially ordered Fang Lang to lead his troops to evacuate Japan and return to Brazil, and Fang Lang has already prepared for this order, so it is not surprising.

The reason why Fang Lang remained in Tokyo is also very simple: the US government promised that the warships sold to the First Fleet of the Brazilian Navy at a low price would be delivered at the Yokosuka Military Port, and the order of the Admiralty required Fang Lang to return directly to China after receiving the warships.

Among them are a Cleveland-class cruiser, two Fletcher-class destroyers, a Littleshark-class submarine. There are also two tank landing ships gifted by the Americans.

These warships are all meritorious battleships that have seen the Battle of the Pacific Ocean, in other words, second-hand, but Fang Lang doesn't mind using second-hand goods, as long as they are easy to use.

What Fang Lang does not understand the most is why the Americans sent two tank landing ships to Brazil, don't they know that Brazil does not have tanks at all, except for a few tanks in the expeditionary force?

What is the difference between sending a tank landing ship without sending a tank and not giving a meal to the deputy dishes and chopsticks.

However, these are the results of negotiations between the government officials and the US government, and Fang Lang can't say anything, it's a big deal to use it as a training ship, and he doesn't have to pay for it himself anyway.

On 14 October, the crews arranged by the Brazilian Admiralty flew from Brazil to Tokyo in a group of US military transport planes.

Yes, you read that right, the transport fleet, because there are so many people coming, and the Admiralty is obviously worried about long nights and dreams.

I don't know what price to pay, so the United States arranged nearly 30 transport planes and directly transported nearly 1,300 crew members from Brazil to report to Fang Lang.

Fang Lang knew the reason for the Brazilian Navy's eagerness, obviously because the domestic political situation was already very delicate.

has been staying in the hotel arranged by Colonel Jason, and Fang Lang has also enjoyed it very much. Because this place just happened to see the orange fire field of the Jingguo Divine Toilet in the distance.

Although there was an unpleasant smell in the air, Fang Lang felt that the taste was more refreshing than a cigar.

Looking at the secret numb crowd kneeling outside the Jingguo Divine Toilet, Fang Lang wanted to come again, but unfortunately he could only think about it.

However, looking at the people crying to death in front of the divine toilet, Fang Lang's heart was unprecedentedly satisfied.

As the fire in the divine toilet gradually and completely extinguished, Fang Lang also had to collect his mood and go to the U.S. military Yokosuka military port to see the specific situation of the battleship first.

After all, it is not like a word to leave more than 1,300 of his crew in Captain Jason's barracks and concentrate on a bonfire.

In the early morning of October 15, a light rain washed away the black ashes in the sky, and the smell of grass and wood ash wafted from the air, which had been very bad for several days, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

Fang Lang, protected by a group of heavily armed guard platoon soldiers, boarded the car and headed for the Yokosuka Naval Base, which was also in Tokyo Bay.

Yokosuka was originally the base camp of the Japanese Navy, and at the same time, as the first landing point of the United States in Japan, a large number of warships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were docked nearby.

As a result, American GIs can be seen everywhere on the streets of the entire city of Yokosuka.

It may be that Fang Lang and they set off relatively early, when Fang Lang came to Yokosuka City, Fang Lang could see from time to time in the houses on the side of the road, and occasionally some American GIs were saying goodbye to Japanese girls, obviously this was an American GI who did not return at night.

There were also some soldiers who were obviously not sober enough to stagger in the direction of the barracks.

It was basically difficult to see Japanese men on the streets, which made Fang Lang feel as if the whole city was for American GIs.

However, this is not Fang Lang's business, what he wants most now is to seize the time and return to Brazil as soon as possible after the handover is completed to stabilize his foundation.

Soon Fang Lang's motorvoy stopped in front of a reinforced concrete office building, which is now the headquarters of the U.S. Navy in Japan.

The first person Fang Lang saw after getting out of the car turned out to be John, which made him very incomprehensible, after all, John was a lieutenant colonel officer in the logistics department of the US Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet.

However, the current Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet should return to the Hawaiian Military Port, how can it appear at the US Navy Command in Japan!

Before Fang Lang could ask his doubts, John had already stepped forward and gave Fang Lang a big hug.

"Haha.... Fang, isn't it a surprise! ”

"John, why are you here?"

Of course, I was very happy to see my old friend Fang Lang, so I hugged John tightly.

"I'm now transferred to the U.S. Navy Command in Japan!"

John tilted his neck smugly.

Fang Lang thought that his neck was not very comfortable, but after taking a closer look at John's gaze, he found that the oak leaves on the armband of John's military uniform had been replaced with an eagle mark.

"Wow! John, are you already a colonel? Congratulations! ”

Seeing that Fang Lang had finally discovered the changes in his body, the smile on John's face was even worse, and his smug expression was overflowing.

"Average! Don't want me to salute you when we meet in the future! ”

Fang Lang laughed when he said this, he didn't expect John to care so much about this.

But it's relieved to think about it, after all, when the two were separated, John was a major, and Fang Lang was just a second lieutenant.

By the time the two met in the Pacific Theater, Fang Lang was already a colonel, and John was only a lieutenant colonel, which made John a little embarrassed.

Now that everyone's military ranks are finally the same, of course John will be very proud!

Naturally, it was very inappropriate for two high-ranking officers to laugh at the door of the US Navy Command in Japan. Therefore, John was the first to stop laughing and said:

"Let's go! We talked as we walked. ”

Fang Lang came over today to have something serious, so he definitely can't go directly to catch up with old friends.

can only be slightly embarrassed:

"John, you may have to wait for me, I have to go to the headquarters to do some business first. When I'm done, I'll ask you to give it a good time. ”

As a result, John laughed and raised the briefcase in his hand and said:

"Of course, the big meal can't be missing, otherwise your affairs won't go smoothly!"

Seeing John's movements, Fang Lang still didn't understand that John was the person in charge of arranging the warship with him!

What a surprise! If someone unfamiliar with this work is in charge, Fang Lang will have to take out some American specialties to open the way for the strength of his fleet.

However, with the relationship between Fang Lang and John, Fang Lang believed that even if he didn't say anything, the warship he got in hand would definitely not be bad.

"Haha.... So you're the one in charge of connecting with me! So what are you waiting for, let's hurry and go, I can tell you, if the warship I gave me is not a good thing, I will not spare you! ”

With that, he pulled John directly into his car.

John looked at Fang Lang's guard platoon and couldn't help but say with some envy:

"Why is it that everyone is a colonel, and you have a platoon of guards, but I don't have any guards?"

Fang Lang really couldn't answer this question, because he didn't know much about the situation of the U.S. military, and he didn't know what the situation of the colonel of the U.S. Navy should be.

But after thinking about it, he still spoke:

"Isn't it simple to live without guards? Isn't it okay to pay for a beautiful secretary by yourself? ”

As a result, John looked at Fang Lang with a surprised expression and said:

"How do you know I have a female secretary?"

Now it's Fang Lang's turn to envy, an American officer can be paired with a beautiful secretary, are you sure that this will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army?

"You already have a beautiful secretary? Then why don't you bring it out for me to meet, don't be so stingy! You can rest assured, our Chinese tradition is that friends and wives cannot be bullied. I'm not going to do anything to your secretary. ”

"Don't worry! You don't have a chance, she was recommended by my father, and she is already a mother of two children, are you sure you want to meet? ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Lang's enthusiasm disappeared in an instant.

"You Americans are so inhumane, how can you let a mother of two continue to work for you! It should be young and beautiful to improve combat effectiveness! ”

John also nodded in agreement:

"I have the same idea as you, but unfortunately I can't be the master of this, he turned out to be one of my father's secretaries, and now my father recommended him to work with me."

What is the situation that the US Rear Admiral gave his right-hand man to his son? Fang Lang quickly thought of a possibility.

"Is General Clark also on the disarmament list? He's a major general! ”

"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed that you would know the news that the United States is going to disarm.

My father was indeed ready to retire, but he applied on his own initiative, after all, the war had been won. He wanted to go back to spend time with his mother, go fishing, and live a leisurely life. ”

"So did you decide to stay in the Navy? The war is over, don't you want to have an easy time? ”

"I also wanted to have an easy life, but my father talked to me and he advised me to stay in the army.

In fact, I know very well that he doesn't really want to retire, but as a minority, he has little room for promotion, and if he continues to stay in the army, he should also retire from the combat army.

Leaving now can save a dignity for myself, and I will not be directly dismissed after he retires, so that our family can continue to leave a certain influence in the American army.

So, you get the idea! ”

Hearing John say this without hesitation, Fang Lang also understood why John was transferred to the US Navy Command in Japan.

This is obviously being laid out in advance, it seems that this General Clark is really not a simple character!
